Dulong wedding party, August 1917

Title
Dulong wedding party, August 1917
Description
"Believed to be the wedding party of Wakefield residents James Walter Dulong and Sylvia Anne Amiro, this photo may have been take by Wakefield historian, painter and photographer Joseph Payro. Payro was known for experimenting with different papers and developing techniques when printing his photos. The back of this photo contains the notation: 'Monox Bromide 15 ticks by the kitchen clock, 24" from the big lamp'. An additional notation indicates that the paper was 'four years old before being printed.' Although the Wakefield Town report of 1917 noted the marriage of James and Sylvia, there is no mention of them in the 1917 list of residents."
