About this photograph

A formal family portrait photographed by Theodor Horydczak in 1920. The image captures the Meaney family, identified in the archive as Thomas J. Meaney along with his wife and children, though the record provides no further details about the family members or their circumstances.

Horydczak worked as a commercial photographer in Washington, D.C. from around 1890 until 1971. This negative, preserved on safety film stock at 5 by 7 inches, forms part of the Horydczak collection now held by the Library of Congress.

The designation "Meaney family portrait II" suggests at least one other portrait of the family exists in the archive, though whether both were taken during the same sitting or on separate occasions remains unspecified. The 1920 date places the photograph in the early years of Horydczak's long career documenting the capital and its residents.

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