Description: An antique albumen photograph from an album of 1900-1909 western U.S. scenes including the Atlantic and Pacific (became Santa Fe) end First Transcontinental Railways. Type & Size: A 5x3.5" original photograph.Condition: Good condition and very well taken care of for its age. Likely some light curling, flaking, and other age related deterioration. Please see photos for scans. The photograph depicts three men dressed as women, standing in front of a wooden house with a vine-covered trellis. The men are wearing dresses and hats typical of the early 1900s. One man is seated while the others stand beside him, holding parasols.Such cross-dressing scenes were sometimes part of informal social gatherings or theatrical performances during this era. Given the style and setting, the photograph likely captures a lighthearted or comedic moment, perhaps from a small-town event or informal performance. This type of playful gender expression was not uncommon in private settings in the early 20th century western United States.No visible text or signs are present in the photograph, and no identifiable people are mentioned.
