1 negative : safety ; 4 x 5 in.


This safety negative was created by Theodor Horydczak, a commercial photographer working in Washington, D.C., whose work is preserved in a named collection at the Library of Congress.

The record identifies the subject as a family portrait connected to Charlotte Hall Military Academy, though it provides no details about the individuals pictured or their relationship to the school. Charlotte Hall was a military academy, but the archive material gives no information about its location, history, or when it operated.

The negative measures 4 x 5 inches and is catalogued as dating from 1920. Beyond the title's reference to a family and the academy, the record offers no specifics about who was photographed or why, nor does it clarify whether these were students' relatives, faculty members, or others associated with the institution.

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