Parlor and Sitting Room, Elizabethtown, Pa., March 10, 1912

An at the piano photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Handwritten note on the back of this real photo postcard: "3/24-12. Taken March 10, 1912, about 1:40 p.m. Parlor and sitting room. First sitting. M. B. Wittle, Elizabethtown, Penna."

A man sits at—or at least near—a piano in this wonderfully detailed glimpse into a parlor and sitting room in Elizabethtown, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1912. Judging from the note, Milton B Wittle (1877-1963) was the subject and/or the photographer.

Mouse over the image above for closer looks at the lamp and fern, the top of the piano (with a stuffed squirrel and cornet!), the Hasbrouck Cabinet Grand Piano and stool, the mustachioed man and the fish bowl, and the man in his chair.
