3 1/2" x 5 3/4" color photo. Unidentified woman and man. Unknown date, probably between 1956 and 1963.

Potential information: This information may serve as clues to help identify the era of the photo, the people in the photo, the place where the photo was taken, or even the photo studio where it was developed. It also may not serve those purposes. The first, and often biggest, clue we have is the box number. A search for that box number will turn up all the items that were found together, which will often lead to connections we couldn't make with just one item. If you have anything you'd like to add, you can do so in the Comments.

Surroundings: One story church.

The people: The man and woman in the photo are identified, on the back, as "Adrienne's sponcers (sic)" at her baptism. The sponsors' clothes may be a clue to date for someone. The woman's hat seems very 1950s-y to me.

The photo itself: Color, just barely. The first copy above is altered to try to bring out better detail. The second copy above is the original scan. Back marked "This is a Kodacolor Print - Made by Eastman Kodak Company - T. M. Regis. U.S. Pat. Off. - Week Ending Dec 1, 1956 - VI PA 1". Handwritten is "The Day Adrienne was Baptisid Her Sponcers (The day Adrienne was baptized - her sponsors)".

Based on the date (1956) on the back and this info: "Kodacolor was a color negative film manufactured by Eastman Kodak between 1942 and 1963." ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodacolor_%28still_photography%29 ), I'm guessing the date to be between 1956 and 1963. Based on the mis-spelling of "baptized," I think it's possible that the church is Baptist.
