United States Family Scene: Brownie/Girl Scout Meeting (1952)


Figure 1.--Here we see a family scene in a middle class home. The family is unidentified, but the picture seems to be a Girl Scout or Brownie meeting. The parents and two boys are included in the photograoh, presumably the brothers of one of the girls. One boy wears a suit jacket with a striped-T shirt and short pants. Presumablky he was told to dress up for the photograph. . His older brother looks to be wearing a sports jacket, although it is difficult to tell. The photograph provides a good look at a prosperous middle-class family during the post-War period.
