Photos of great moments in everyday life.
These photographs were made by studio photographers mostly working outside the studio; the people in the pictures were, with a few exceptions, the photographer's clients. Hired for moments of significance -- of triumph -- by those who could afford his service, the studio photographer makes portraits and records social rituals in middle- and upper-class America.
The pictures in this book start with the end of the nineteen-twenties, cover the Depression years, and progress through an increasingly comfortable period of prosperity for America's middle class, stopping before the upheavals of the late sixties. The Crash, bread lines, Hitler, and the atomic bomb do not appear in these photographs. The pictures are of events people chose to remember.
