About this photograph

A 1920 studio portrait by Theodor Horydczak showing a seated woman and child. The photograph was taken on nitrate film, a common commercial medium of the period.

Horydczak was a commercial photographer working in Washington, D.C. His photographs are now held by the Library of Congress as a named collection.

The record provides no further details about the sitters' identities or the circumstances of the sitting. Portrait work of this kind formed part of the routine commercial practice of studio photographers in the early twentieth century.

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