Home Sweet Home—A Quiet Sunday

Home Sweet Home—A Quiet Sunday
A home sweet home photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Caption on the front of this real photo postcard: "Home Sweet Home." "A quiet Sunday."

Handwritten message on the other side: "We are still enjoying the front porch but it is fierce here lately. HOT. We leave for N.H. July 29 via New York. Visit for a week at Groveland, Mass., en route. Regards to Mr. C. Have gotten five (only) new dresses."

A man and a woman are enduring the summertime heat as they sit on rocking chairs on the front porch of their row home (mouse over the image for a better view of the couple). The man is reading a newspaper, and the woman is reading a book (the book is in her left hand, and she's reaching up with her right hand to hold the back of her rocking chair).

Impressive house - I wonder where it was? Five dresses (only) would certainly make her fairly well to do, in those days!

Thanks, Deborah! I'm just not sure about the location. I was thinking New York City at first, but that doesn't make sense if they're traveling "via New York." Unless the architectural style of the house provides a clue, it'll be difficult to determine where it might be. And "only five new dresses" does certainly suggest that they're well off!

Quite a spot! A lovely scene, though. That newel post near the woman is so large, I thought it was the head of a small child in the window at first.
