Rosa and Tom at Luna Park, Scranton, Pa., ca. 1910

Rosa and Tom at Luna Park, Scranton, Pa., ca. 1910
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of sitting on a park bench.

Printed on the verso: "Luna Park Photo Co., Scranton, Pa. Souvenir Luna Park."

Names handwritten on the other side: "Rosa & Tom."

Tom was sitting on a park bench and Rosa was standing behind him as they posed for this photo as a souvenir of their visit to Luna Park, an amusement park located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, sometime in the late 1900s or early 1910s.

The painted backdrop behind the couple depicts a scene in the park (see a photo of the southern section of Luna Park, Scranton, for a similar view). To the right of the couple is the park's Shoot the Chute water ride. The building to the left of Rosa's head is the park's dance hall.

This is an unused real photo postcard with an Azo stamp box on the other side (diamonds in corners) that indicates a date that may be as early as 1907 to 1909.

What a nice photo of this couple. I'd bet that they cherished it. Still, his being seated while she stands behind seems to establish him as the more important of the two. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I'm reminded of Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man."
