Scope and Content

From the Collection:

The mock wedding photograph from Roanoke, Virginia, features eighteen children–eight boys and ten girls. These children are dressed up as traditional members of a wedding party, such as the bride, groom, flower girl, and preacher. This photograph suggests that mock weddings, such as this one, were well-planned, containing large flower bouquets, dresses and suits for the children, and even an oriental rug.
