Description

Photograph albums and amateur snapshots reflect the importance of cherished family memories. Casual and personal, these snapshots document everyday life and generations of families. Suburban life in the twentieth century brought with it lawn care and backyard barbequing. This snapshot includes two men and three women posing in casual dress (shorts) under an outdoor table with umbrella.
