Group of more than 100 photographs of denizens of a trailer park in the 1950s, all taken by the same photographer. A typology of trailers, their inhabitants, and trailer park living, including families in the sun and snow, couples posing outside their front doors (including a few men with their accordions), friends gathered in the small yards, and children playing, all taken with a careful, artful eye for the everyday. Silver (approximately 100) and chromogenic prints (3), most measuring 3 inches (7.6 cm.) square, one measuring 4 3/4x6 3/4 inches (12.1x17.1 cm.), most with the month and year printed in the lower margin, and a few with the year, in pencil, or captions identifying the subjects, in ink, also in the margin. 1953-60 and 1964 (one)
