DESCRIPTION
Wonderful original multi-generation Lanterman / Wilson family photographic archive from Pennsylvania, spanning approximately the early 1900s through the 1950s. This group contains identified family members, childhood portraits, family groups, studio portraits, and a large 1933 Lanterman family reunion photograph, making it particularly useful for genealogy and Pennsylvania family-history research.
The photographs appear connected to the family of James Harold Lanterman (1897–1979), son of James Howard Lanterman and Lillian Ethel Smith, and husband of Frieda Mildred Wilson. James Harold Lanterman was born in Monroe, Bradford County, PA and later lived in the Stroudsburg area.
Especially noteworthy is the large framed outdoor group photograph showing a substantial gathering of men, women and children. A sign at the center identifies it as the 18th Annual Lanterman Family Reunion, 1933. The photograph shows numerous generations assembled in front of a large house and is an excellent genealogical image in its own right.
Several photographs carry handwritten family identifications. Names and information visible among the photographs include:
- Edna Wilson Wallace
- Frieda Wilson Lanterman
- James/J. Howard Lanterman
- Lillian Ethel Smith Lanterman
- Frank Lanterman
- a portrait identified Frank Lanterman, April 1952
- an inscription identifying Lillian Ethel Smith Lanterman, Mrs. J. Howard Lanterman, 1944
- early childhood portraits identifying Edna Wilson Wallace and Frieda Wilson Lanterman, including an example dated 1903
The archive includes several particularly charming early studio portraits of the two Wilson girls posed together in white dresses and hair bows. Multiple examples/copies survive, and the handwritten identifications provide an unusually useful link between the Wilson and Lanterman sides of the family.
Other images include an early family group posed outside a home, another sizeable outdoor family gathering, individual men and women, a mother/father with two small children, later formal studio portraits, and a baby photograph identified James E. Brunner Jr., Dec. 14, 1949. One loose note appears to identify “Aunt Edythe Butler Buckley.”
Photographs are housed in a mixture of period cardboard mounts, folders and studio presentation folders; the 1933 reunion photograph remains in its older frame. Some mounts have handwritten identification on their backs or interiors. This is being offered as a single intact family group so that the genealogical associations and original identifications remain together.
Authentic period piece related to family, historyor local heritage - well-suited for historical collections, genealogical /genealogy research, or museum acquisition.Vintage or Antique.
