The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 3
Drawn from a family album associated with the Presidio of San Francisco, these early twentieth-century photographs move between the ceremony of the "Taft Parade" and the quiet of farm life, hay wagons, and garden gatherings. The mix of civic spectacle, fashion, and rural work shows how personal and military histories were preserved side by side.
