1 negative : safety ; 4 x 5 in.


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

The record identifies the subject as a family portrait connected to Charlotte Hall Military Academy, photographed in 1920. The institution is named but no further detail about it appears in the available material. The title designates this as the second of at least two family portraits from the same session or context.

The original negative was made on safety film and measured 4 by 5 inches, a standard format for commercial photography of the period. Beyond the link to the academy and the date, the record provides no information about who the family members were or their relationship to the institution.

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