Vintage Italian-American Family Birthday Lot 4 Photos 1950s 2.5x3.5 B&W Orig
Original vintage 1950s black-and-white snapshot photographs on gelatin-silver paper depicting Italian-American family life and social gatherings in the United States, offered as a set of four small prints.
One vertically oriented image shows a multigenerational family group of women, girls, and a man in a tie gathered around a dining table set with dishes and glassware in a domestic kitchen or basement dining room.
A second photograph captures a birthday celebration scene with several adults presenting an older woman with a boxed gift marked "GENERAL ELECTRIC" beside a decorated cake in front of patterned wallpaper and a table lamp.
A third image presents a woman in a tailored suit and handbag standing outside on a city sidewalk with a young boy in a suit and bow tie beside a chain-link gate and brick rowhouse facade.
The fourth snapshot depicts a group of men and a boy in dress shirts and ties seated around a dining table laid with cups, plates, and serving pieces in the same home interior, emphasizing mid-century domestic and social life.
Each photograph is printed with scalloped white borders on glossy photo paper; the reverse sides carry graphite inscriptions such as "1952," "1-52," and "March 1954" near the upper edges along with small stamped numerical processing codes near one corner.
A separate handwritten reference slip pictured with the photos reads "Italian-American Family Life set of 4 photos" and notes ≈ 2.5" x 3.5" as an approximate size guide for each print.
Actual Measurements: ≈ 2.5" x 3.5".
The listing is for four loose, unmounted and unframed original photographs only; any brass display stand, handwritten reference slip, or other props visible in the listing images are used solely for scale and presentation and are not included.

Photographs are offered together as four loose unmounted and unframed original prints only; any brass display stand, handwritten reference slip, or other props visible in the listing images are used solely for scale and presentation and are not included.
