1 negative : safety ; 8 x 10 in.


The record identifies this 1937 safety negative as a portrait of Art Brown and his family, captured by Theodor Horydczak in Washington, D.C.

Horydczak worked as a commercial photographer in Washington during the mid-twentieth century. His work is preserved in a dedicated collection at the Library of Congress.

The title's notation "facing camera II" suggests this was one image in a series of portraits made during the same sitting, though the record provides no further detail about the Brown family or the circumstances of the session.

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