Getting The Picture

Getting The Picture Series
It is always a great day when an actual object in the museum's collection can be matched up with a photograph of the original owner or their descendants wearing or using the object. This not only documents the donor's claims  but provides illustrations for an exhibit storyline. (Plus it is just plain fun to see who wore what when). Every once and a while I will be adding some of these images along with the associated artifacts to Katrina's blog. We would love to hear your comments, so please, do not be shy!  CuratorDeb

The white furry coat was worn by Margaret Crowner Sell, the taller girl in the photograph taken on March 29, 1915. Next to Margaret is her sister, Helen, in a matching coat.
