 Photo of the Month

May 2002

Object ID:  1968.027.0108

Photographer:  Jesse Sumner Wooley

Date:  Unknown, probably ca. 1900

Seventeen young women in white holding streamers attached to the ceiling, surrounding another young woman  seated in a chair being crowned by an older woman.  Although we do not know what the occasion was, or who these young women are, the layout of this ceremony is very similar to that of a May Day dance around a Maypole.
