DescriptionTwo girls stand in front of a Christmas tree. Christmas ornaments on the tree include tinsel, glass ornaments, an American flag, and a candy cane. Both the girls wear dresses and over-the-ankle tie shoes. A book by their feet reads "Denslow's One Ring Circus and Other Stories". Framed pictures hang on the walls.
NotesDate Note: Denslow's One-Ring Circus and Other Stories was originally published in 1903. The book in this photograph may be a later reprint, but it appears to be identical with the first edition. If that it is a first edition, this photograph and others in the group could be earlier than previously assumed. (Finlay 11/15/2013)Subject Note: These are the same Christmas tree and presents as pictured in 1995.36.1583. One of the girls pictured is probably Muriel Armstrong. (Agins 8/1/2013)
Subject Note: Muriel Armstrong was born June 15, 1914. The Armstrong family lived in Groton, Connecticut. (Finlay 11/20/2013)
