Women in a Horse and Carriage, ca. 1900, v1972.1.652; Early Brooklyn and Long Island photograph collection, ARC.201, Brooklyn Historical Society.

Found in the Alden Family Bible, donated by Mrs. L. Tracey in 1957, this celebratory photograph appears to have been taken in the spring or summer judging from the light colors the two women are wearing, one of whom seems to be wearing a veil.  The veil suggests that this photo may show a bride and her maid of honor in the midst of a bridal procession.  What do you think the people in the photograph are celebrating?
