Photo Pictorial Sections
Remnants of Combined Issues From 1927
The
following photos were scanned from old yellowing and crumbling
"Photo Pictorial Sections" of
The Pittsburgh (PA) Press (a defunct newspaper), on various dates from 1927.
Some photos display a "source" and others do not.
When a source
is visible it will be notated for that specific picture.
It
is not the intent of this website to plagiarize others work nor to lay
claim to such.
This is an attempt to
salvage
remnants of Pittsburgh's past photographic history of people,
where family
members may have appeared within the photos being presented.
Other photos may show places and/or things from this time era.
Some viewers of
these
webpages were children in 1927, or possibly parents.
I've re-typed some of the
photo captions for viewer
clarity. Enjoy!
