Family at Home

Family at Home | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
A carefully posed scene of a man, woman, and girl at home. The girl sits with a cat on her lap. The man, in a wicker rocker, reads the "Editorial Section" of a newspaper; the woman waters a fern. The doors of a built-in cabinet in the background have been opened to reveal decorative china.  On the right is a fireplace with ornate mantel displaying bric-a-brac. A heavy drapery with tassels decorates the doorway between the parlor and dining room.
