Little beyond the title survives about this sitting, which names Mrs. E.T. Meredith and a soldier party. The E.T. Meredith of that era may be Edwin T. Meredith, the farm publisher who served as Secretary of Agriculture under President Wilson until early 1921, which would place the picture just after the First World War, when many communities held gatherings for returning servicemen. The glass negative itself is worth a closer look, since its streaks and small blemishes come from the natural deterioration of the original coating.
