I kind of adore this photo. The seated lady, center, is my great-great-grandmother; the occasion is her 80th birthday, in 1930. Seated at far left is my great-grandmother, daughter of the celebrant; her husband, my great-grandfather, stands at far right. Seated at far right is my (great-) Aunt Jane, who died aged 99 2 years ago and was a sometime correspondent of mine, and sent me $1000 when I married, although I never met her. She's 22 here. My grandfather was 18 when this picture was taken and isn't in it; away at college I suspect. The other middle-aged people are the celebrant's children and spouses; the young man is my great-uncle.
I LOVE the clothes (especially on the women), and the expressions on the faces (especially Aunt Jane).
(Edited because I can't tell my right from my left.)
