Double family album containing more than 470 photographs, comprising an album chock-a-block with 320 pictures of a well-heeled metropolitan family spanning 1924-44, many of them captioned or annotated and a second album with more than 150 photographs. The family apparently lived in Brooklyn, New York and summered in Milford, New Jersey. The pictures celebrate a host of domestic occasions in various seasons, including vacation cruises, visits to the beach, birthdays, snapshots of kids and toys, and the requisite urban family portraits on the front stoop. Also includes Graduation Exercises of Policemen at Ebbets Field. The images in the second album reflect the same visual narrative, but do not have caption information or dates.
