Colorado College and the Roaring 20s Photo Scandal

Studio portrait (sitting and standing) of a husband and wife probably on their wedding day. She holds a bouquet and wears a dress with a bustle.

The History of Wedding Photography

A group of people poses in the "Delta House Smith Bro's. Livery and Transfer" wagon, parked in the middle of unpaved Main Street in the town of Delta, Colorado. Men, women, and children sit in the cab, and two people sit on it. A boy sits next to the driver, who holds reins and a whip. The harness of one of the horses reads "Smith Bros. Livery."  Trees and commercial storefronts are in the background.
