The Snapshots in Time Collection
Family Portrait Outdoors, 1920s, Margaroli Family Collection
A family group poses outdoors beneath a large shade tree in this 1920s-era photograph from the Margaroli family collection. The fashions -- drop-waist dresses, cloche and wide-brim hats -- place the image in the interwar period, likely predating the WWII service of the collection's namesake, a B-24 Liberator belly gunner. Personal family photographs such as this one offer valuable context for understanding the lives service members left behind when they went to war. Project: 218360
