Impressive porch foliage . . . and in the photo below, by the same photographer.

Snyder was a successful photographer working in Oxford, Ohio, in the early 20th century. After his death in 1958, his family donated his archive of 4,000 negatives to Miami University.

That’s the oldest Foliage Follow-Up post I’ve read yet — ha! Clearly this family appreciated foliage, didn’t they?
I’m wondering what their gardens looked like — especially the Flower family’s.
Love the old pics–what romantic vines hanging over the porch!
