While looking through photographs from 1959, we came across one with a Christmas tree. Our curiosity piqued, we began looking for more local images from the 1950’s that showed different styles of trees and decorations. As our gift to you this holiday season, we present the following photographs of mid-century (20th!) Christmas trees from our collection:
2001-08 Quad City Times Photograph Negatives. December 15, 1959.
2001-08 Quad City Times Photograph Negatives. December 17, 1959.
2001-08 Quad City Times Photograph Negatives. December 18, 1959.
2001-08 Quad City Times Photograph Negatives. December 4, 1959.
And one last image. A color slide from 1954.
Vol. 211 – dpl1992-011198. December 25, 1954. 1992-01 Grover C. von der Heyde Photographs Collection.
Happy Holidays from the Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center!
