About this photograph
This 1937 safety negative by Theodor Horydczak shows Art Brown and his family posed by a tree. The photograph is part of a series, as indicated by the "II" designation in the title.
Horydczak was a commercial photographer working in Washington, D.C. from approximately 1890 to 1971. His photographs are preserved as a named collection at the Library of Congress.
The record provides no further information about Art Brown, his family members, or the circumstances of the sitting. The use of a safety negative, a cellulose acetate-based film less prone to deterioration than earlier nitrate stock, reflects standard professional practice by the mid-1930s.
Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
