1 negative : safety ; 8 x 10 in.


This 1937 safety negative, measuring 8 by 10 inches, shows members of the Brown family gathered around a chair for reading. The photograph was taken by Theodor Horydczak, a commercial photographer working in Washington, D.C.

The image is part of a series documenting Art Brown and his family, though the archive record does not specify the relationships between the individuals shown or their activities beyond the reading scene indicated in the title.

Horydczak worked from approximately 1890 to 1971, and his photographs are now held by the Library of Congress as a named collection.

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