About this piece

Lot of 4 original black and white family snapshot photographs, 1932 to 1957, mixed from different sources rather than one roll. Sizes run from about 2.9 x 4.7 in to 5.2 x 3.6 in. Overall the four are in used vintage condition with light edge and corner wear, and specific flaws are noted with each photo below.

• 1932 young woman in a floral drop-waist dress with a tie collar standing in a yard among shrubs, a small boy partly visible behind her. Back pencilled "March / 1932" with another pencil mark. About 3.2 x 4.7 in. Light toning and minor spots on the back.

• Two women in print dresses standing on a lawn looking down at what appears to be a flat grave marker set in the grass, with trees and two parked sedans behind. Wide white border, appears to be late 1940s to early 1950s. About 2.9 x 4.7 in. Small mark in the upper left border.

• Four smiling children, two boys in suits and a younger girl and boy, posed on a brick stoop by a door. Deckle edge with "NOV 57" stamped in the border; green ink notation and "57" on the back. About 5.2 x 3.4 in. Small nick at the bottom edge.

• Baby lying on a fluffy blanket, close in profile. Deckle edge, Kodak Paper back with a blue ink scribble. About 5.2 x 3.6 in. Upper right corner crease.

Vernacular 1930s to 1950s family photography for collectors, scrapbooking or display.
