New Year Gathering, Chicago, Illinois, 1912

New Year Gathering, Chicago, Illinois, 1912
A photo combining one or more previous themes (Happy New Year, poses by a Christmas thing [anything holiday], people playing musical instruments, interiors, and possibly others) for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Handwritten note on the back of this real photo postcard: "New Year, 1912. Chicago, Ill."

The Christmas tree is still standing for this family's New Year celebration in 1912. A woman is playing a guitar, but no one is seated at the piano, surprisingly enough.

Happy New Year to one and all!

Thanks, Babs! I noticed that, too. Interestingly, the two who are facing the camera--the guitarist and the man behind her--both have their eyes closed. Could they be reacting to the light of a flash? Would the photographer be using flash powder or something else in 1912?
