In December of 1917, our intrepid Albert Stone created a series of eight photographs for a series that ran in the Rochester Herald under the heading “Father Goes Shopping.” It’s a wry look at an addled and overloaded (and now poorer) Dad with his Christmas purchases. Take a look – Mr. Stone captures the moment with his usual droll sense of humor, and his warm and ingenuous sense of urban life. He begins with the wonderful pile of gifts, and an empty wallet.
Ho Ho Ho!
