Young Man in Overcoat Holding Fedora, Garden Portrait, c. late 1920s–early 1930s

A young man poses for a garden portrait in a long double-breasted overcoat, holding his fedora at his side. The tailored coat, wide lapels, and hat style are characteristic of men's fashion in the late 1920s and early 1930s, a common subject for the personal snapshot albums families kept to document everyday life, visits, and special occasions.
