“Pictures Taken Day or Night – J.F.F.”
This striking original tintype captures a poised couple—he in a crisp suit, she in a voluminous white dress—seated side by side at Pennsylvania’s beloved Dorney Park during the 1906–1907 season.
Encased in its original purple paper folder, the cover features a charming illustration of a Dorney Park trolley car alongside the phrase “Pictures Taken Day or Night” and the initials J.F.F., presumably the photographer behind this turn-of-the-century portrait.
Founded in 1884 as a summer resort with a trout hatchery and scenic picnic groves, Dorney Park grew into one of America’s earliest amusement parks, drawing visitors by trolley for rides, entertainment, and photo keepsakes like this one. By the time this image was taken, the park had already added a carousel and early rides, making it a popular destination for couples and families alike.
A rare and evocative piece of early 20th-century leisure culture, this tintype offers a personal glimpse into the golden age of park-going and portraiture.
