    My grandmother embroidered this picture for my mother and father wedding in June 1944.
    For whatever reason, the picture was never framed. Therefore, it is not faded or damaged by light.
    My guess is that my Dad was married while serving in the Army Air Corps, and he wore a uniform.
    It was carefully stored in Mom's blanket chest, along with her bridal ensemble.
    note: I have taken some photos with a flash, but I think details look better in natural light.
