About this photograph

This nitrate negative, part of Theodor Horydczak's collection at the Library of Congress, records a family group posed before a building. The original photograph dates from 1920.

Horydczak worked as a commercial photographer in Washington, D.C. from approximately 1890 until 1971. The Library of Congress holds his photographs as a named collection.

The archive catalogues this as a copy photograph, meaning Horydczak reproduced an existing image rather than taking the original picture himself. The record identifies the subject as a family but provides no names, location, or circumstances for the gathering. The building behind them remains unidentified.

The negative measures five by seven inches, a standard commercial format of the period that allowed contact printing or enlargement.

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