Train to Florida, 1910, Family Portrait

All aboard to the past with a photograph from the early 1900s, capturing a family embarking on a journey to Florida. In an era where travel called for the finest attire, this image showcases a large family, led by a matriarch who stands at the center of the composition. By her side, a little girl exudes a sense of youthful anticipation with her hands keeping warm in an Ermine Fur Muff.

Every member of the family is dressed in formal attire, embodying the traditions of the time. The women wear fancy hats, adding an air of elegance to their ensembles, while the men, with the exception of one, sport stylish bowler hats. Bundled up in warm clothing, they radiate a sense of excitement and anticipation as they eagerly await their Florida destination.

The setting of the photograph is a platform in a train station. In the background, a steam train stands as a powerful symbol of progress and adventure, ready to carry this spirited family toward their destination.

This photograph captures a moment in time when travel was an event to be celebrated, where families embarked on journeys dressed in their finest attire, with a sense of togetherness, excitement and adventure.
