I have enjoyed this picture for as long as I can remember. It hung in my parents house my whole life and my Mom left it to me and it now hangs in our living room. I find it a very pleasing composition. Pictured are my Great Grandmother, and two daughters, the one in the middle being my maternal Grandmother.
I opened the back of the frame to copy it for my siblings ( all 8 of them! ) and found a letter from the editor of Photo Era Magazine requesting permission to print it.
A little library and Google work and I found a copy of the Nov 1923 issue containing this surprise.
