Emerson Album Portland More Photos

Here are a few more photos from the Emerson album. There is one photo that wasn't taken in Portland or anywhere else in Maine unless it's warm in January and there are coconuts.

I get the sense that the person who put this album together was upper middle class from the time. It was the depression but they had cars, the women seemed to go to college, they traveled some.

On the back is written: "Aint this cute. Breaking open a coconut. Jan 4, 1933"

On the back: 'Hal had his hands on Lil's shoulder. Cute kid eh." Looking at the photo in light I found a few names written with pencil. The young man in front, who looks like he's biting an apple says Kid. The man with suspenders is Hal.

Only writing is what you see. Maybe someone knows what kind of car.

Same group as above but Hal and Kid seem missing.
