Alfred Holt and Madeleine Wood Spoof

Alfred Holt and Madeleine Wood Spoof | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
Alfred Holt and Madeleine Wood are outside on a sunny day. She is standing and holding a pose that suggests dancing. He is sitting in a wooden chair with his one foot crossed over his knee. Alfred Holt's eyes are either closed, or he is squinting in the sunlight. Madeleine Wood is looking down.

This outdoor portrait seems to be a spoof on the traditional portrait of a newly married couple. There is a matching photograph in the album of Alfred Holt and Madeleine Wood looking prim and proper.

Page caption reads: "July 1920," the month in which Alfred Holt and Madeleine Wood were married.
