Thomas J. Meaney family and children. Meaney family portrait III

About this photograph

A portrait of the Thomas J. Meaney family photographed in 1920. The negative was created by Theodor Horydczak, a commercial photographer working in Washington, D.C.

The archive holds this image as part of the Horydczak collection at the Library of Congress. It is recorded as the third in a series of Meaney family portraits, suggesting the photographer took multiple views during the same sitting or over a period of time.

The original negative is a safety film measuring 5 x 7 inches. Safety film replaced the more flammable nitrate stock that had been standard in earlier photographic work, making this type of negative more stable for long-term preservation.

No further details about the Meaney family members, their occupations, or the circumstances of the portrait session are provided in the archive record.

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