Public domain 1890 historical photograph by Herman S. Pepoon showing 16-person family group posed at train depot, featuring adults and children in period dress.


The photograph shows a sixteen-person family group posed at a train depot. Adults and children are dressed in period clothing. The image is attributed to Herman S. Pepoon.

The archive dates the photograph to around 1890, though the catalogued range extends to about 1940, suggesting some uncertainty about the precise date. No information is available about the family's identity, their relationship to one another, the specific location of the depot, or the occasion that brought them together for the photograph.

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