DescriptionPhotographs are all group portraits of Meta Heinze Tatro, Alexander Tatro, and their friends and family. Most are formal studio portraits, but some are amateur photographs taken outdoors. Most of the women are wearing fancy dresses and hats with flowers or feathers in them. Some women wear pants. Men and women pose with umbrellas and gloves. Some photographs show people with dogs.
NotesSubject note: Meta Heinze was born in Sweden and moved to the United States in 1880. She came with her sister and they worked as maids for wealthy families around Hartford such as the Ponds. The Ponds House in Elizabeth Park is named after them. She married Alexander Tatro in 1900 and her daughter Amy was born in 1906. (1910 Federal Census, Hartford Courant: Sept. 12, 2004)Status
