Meta Peterman and Percy Land

Tintype.


Meta Peterman and Percy Land

Tintype. There are two copies of this picture.

Several of the tintypes were in paper sleeves. None of the pictures that were still in their sleeves had any thing writen on them. There was a loose backing of a sleeve that was stamped,

HARRIS'S
Souvenir Auto
Near Happyland
SOUTH BEACH

It is possible that the sleeve in question went on this photo or its mate which were both without sleeves.


Circa 1975 Helen Land sent Justina Land Leler a copy of this photo. In Helen's letter to Justy at the time, Helen said,
Grandma and Grandpa's wedding day. Her glove is off to show her wedding band"
Percy and Meta were married on January 18, 1908

I have no idea where or what this building is. Whatever it was, it seems to have been important. There are two picture of the same building and two copies were made of both pictures.

There is a figure in the doorway on the left side.

There is a figure in the doorway. It is hard to see, but it could be Clarence.
