About this photograph

A family portrait of Thomas J. Meaney, his wife, and their children, photographed in 1920. The image was taken by Theodor Horydczak, a commercial photographer working in Washington, D.C.

The photograph survives as a safety negative measuring 5 by 7 inches. Safety film, a cellulose acetate base developed as an alternative to highly flammable nitrate film, became increasingly common in professional photography during this period.

The record identifies this as the first in a series of Meaney family portraits. No further details about the family members, their number, ages, or circumstances are provided in the archive documentation. Horydczak's photographs are preserved in a named collection at the Library of Congress.

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