Description |
Set of eight black and white photos arranged into three rows inside a frame. The top row has three photos, each of a single person. The one on the viewer's right is a woman in a dark blouse with horn-rimmed glasses. The other two are men - the man in the center is older, bald, in a suit, and has glasses. The man on the left is younger with a suit. The center row has two family photos. In both, the men and boys are in suits and/or shirts and ties, and the women and girls are in dresses. The photo on the viewer's left has three young girls and a boy, and the one on the right has three young boys and one girl. The bottom row has three photos. On the viewer's left is a couple side by side. The woman has a dark blouse or dress on and two pins. The man has a suit and tie. At center is a woman on the left, a young firl with a big bow in her hair at the center, and a man in a suit and glasses. On the right is another couple, the man on the left and the woman on the left. She has a floral print dress or blouse and he a suit and tie. At the lower right corner of the center photo is written "Ludberg / foto-46" in light blue. There is no identification on the photos themselves. There was a note taped to the back of the frame that gave some names. It is unclear whether the note is identifying the people left to right or right to left, though the first name appears to clarify, being a male vs. female name.

Provenance |
The set of eight photos were sent to Niels and Minnie Pedersen in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary in 1946. They were from family in Denmark who could not make it to California to join the celebration, but wanted to share love and congratulations with the happy couple by sending photos of themselves. The man at the top middle is Jorgen Christian Pedersen, Arta's uncle, the brother of Niels. The photo in the middle row at the viewer's left shows Anna Bennett, the donor's 3rd (?) cousin - she is second from the left. The photo in the middle row at the right shows Gunnar Larsen, the donor's 3rd (?) cousin - he is the young boy seated in front. This framed set of photos hung on Arta's bedroom wall, but was not clearly documented upon Arta's death. Lois has been in contact with family in Denmark who has identified these three people and may be able to help identify more. Maren "Minnie" (Jensen) Pedersen was the fourth child of Jens Christian Jensen and his first wife Kirsten Marie. She was born July 4, 1876, in Dwight, IL, and died Nov. 23, 1947 at the age of 71 in San Bernardino, CA. She married Niels Pedersen on Sept. 19, 1896, and they had eleven children, one of which was Arta, the donor's mother. This photo was taken in 1946 at Niels and Minnie's 50th wedding anniversary in San Bernardino, CA. Arta married Ejner Christiansen in 1929 and had two children, Dale and Lois. Arta died July 25, 2005. |
