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).

arts enthusiast, John FitzGerald, Smiley Derleth, Deborah Lundbech have particularly liked this photo

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.
