Portrait of the Latimer Family
Photograph
This is a sepia-toned photograph of an African American family, likely taken in the early 20th century. The image captures four individuals posed outdoors in a yard with a wooden fence and houses in the background. Two elderly individuals are seated in the front, while two younger women stand behind them. The older man is wearing a formal suit, while the older woman wears a long dress, hands crossed in her lap. The younger women are dressed in modest early 20th-century attire.
The inscription on the back of the photograph reads "Mrs. Jennie Latimer, 69 Winter St, Hartford." This suggests that the image is connected to Jennie Latimer, who may have been a relative of Lewis Latimer. The address is in Hartford, Connecticut, which could indicate where the family resided.
