Description
Elbridge Stoneham of Portland took part in the First Parish Church "Exhibition of Pictures" event on Dec. 15, 1923.
Twenty-nine church members dressed as noted paintings and posed inside a large gold frame with another frame in front of it. Historical information about the paintings and music accompanied the "exhibition."
