Name/Title
Lewis and Mary Latimer, circa 1923Description
A vintage photograph of Lewis H. Latimer standing beside his seated wife, Mary Latimer, captured outdoors with a backdrop of trees and historic homes. The photo, though aged and slightly torn, portrays the enduring bond of the couple. The image is carefully framed to preserve its historical value.
This dual portrait was probably taken for the couple's fiftieth wedding anniversary, of the anniversary party held at 64 Holly Street.
The New York Age reported that "the occasion was a notable one, and a host of friends and relatives from both far and near gathered to do them honor."Photograph Details
