The Children of Hanover – Hoffman Studio (circa 1915)

In other postcard stories, we have been introduced to the community of Hanover, PA.

Hanover is a charming borough of York County in south-central Pennsylvania – east of Gettysburg and only ten miles above the Mason-Dixon line.

Sometime around 1915, two children posed for a portrait at the Hoffman Studio which operated at an unknown location in Hanover.

An older girl in a layered shift sits on a bench while a younger boy (in an outfit of short pants) stands beside her.

The girl’s dress anticipates popular dress styles of the 1920’s.

I assume that the two are siblings, although there is no identifying inscription.

The girl smiles uneasily, while the boy maintains a stoic expression.

One hopes that the children experienced happiness and success in the twentieth century.
