1 negative : safety ; 4 x 5 in.


The negative records a portrait of Art Brown and his family seated on a couch, captured by Theodor Horydczak in 1932. The image is one of two similarly titled photographs of the Brown family in this seated arrangement.

Horydczak worked as a commercial photographer in Washington, D.C. His photographs form a named collection at the Library of Congress.

The record identifies neither Art Brown's occupation nor the reason for the portrait sitting. The photograph was made on a safety negative measuring four by five inches, the standard format for professional studio work of the period.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
