I missed your comment way back when, Diane. I can only agree with your observations. Fleur-Ange Lamothe on Flickr thought there was a good chance this family is French(-Canadian). They do display the modest elegance that was shown by many French people back at the time this photo was taken.

A nice find! It's interesting to see all the generations and how their expressions range from stoic to bemused.

Thanks, Alan. That thought hadn't occurred to me, and it reveals not only something about families but about photography.

A very nice moment captured. I'm guessing this was taken in the '50s from the young woman's dress and hairstyle.

Sorry about the belated reply, Rick. I think you're right about it being taken in the 50s, and about the girl's hairstyle being a key. I though it might be from the early 60s, but beehives were the rage then.
