Description

Color photograph. Rectangular. Shot landscape orientation. Pictured are eight individuals seated at a round table. There is a large floral arrangement centerpiece on the table. All guests are smiling directly at the camera. On the reverse, "5520" is written in blue ink in the bottom right corner. The reverse also includes a small label that lists in handwritten cursive the names of all the individuals in the photo. Reverse labels of past photographs catalogued in this accession do not list individuals in sequential left to right order, meaning this photograph's label might not either. This means that none of the guests in this photograph can be identified.

Notes

The PHMF Golden Anniversary Celebration was held on Thursday, October 27, 1994, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Foundation's establishment. The PHMF was incorporated on October 27, 1944. The event was held at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Virginia. One of the guests at this table, D. Edward "Ed" Godsey (1954–2022), was a trustee for the PHMF at the time of this event. Staff found this photograph in the existing files of Red Hill's collection and accessioned it on May 30, 2024, due to its importance to PHMF's institutional history.
