We are so excited for the #SleepingInTheStacks challenge! Watch for sleepy images from our collection every Wednesday in May, beginning with one of our favorite glass negatives from our Marriott C. Morris Collection.

Morris captured this playful group portrait in November, 1885, and accompanied it with a note that reads “Knock em down group on Uncle Chas’ porch, Haddonfield”. We wish we knew the story behind the group’s moniker– any guesses?

Morris, Marriott Canby, 1863-1948, photographer.  Knock em down group on Uncle Chas’ [Rhoads] porch, Haddonfield, [NJ] [graphic]. November 18, 1885.  1 photograph: glass negative; 4 x 5 in.

This is great!
