25th wedding anniversary celebration

Milestone wedding anniversaries have traditionally been an occasion for a large family get-together. In this photograph from the late 1950s, guests, including adult children and grandchildren, sit down to a formal dinner to celebrate a 25th wedding anniversary. The long-married couple are seated at centre right, facing the camera.
