In the time-honored family photo album tradition, this page includes pictures that, at least to the casual observer, just don’t go together. The top two are of homes, two different homes that, given the similarity of terrain and of the photos themselves, were probably in close proximity to each other. Without some insight into the locations, those images aren’t particularly remarkable, although the homes are impressive, particularly the grand structure in the right photo. But the bottom pair of photos are curious as they remind me of studio portraits, having a posed look that’s hard to define. It would be easy to imagine the foliage and sand being scenery, into which our subjects have been inserted. Of course that would make no sense whatsoever, as the Robbins and other folk in the album lived in a part of Maine with no lack of natural beauty to pose in. (And they do appear to be partaking in the picnic grub) Another thing I found interesting was the box of crackers on the ground at their feet. 
It is clearly marked with N-B-C and the symbol of the National Biscuit Company, predating the time when the company was re-branded as Nabisco. I haven’t had an Oreo in a while, but I believe that distinctive symbol still appears on the cookies today. Someone savvy of such things could no doubt date the photo within ten years or less by the style of box. (It appears to be a box, not a tin) I can’t identify all the women in the photos, but the one in the swimsuit is definitely Frieda from the first page of the album. To study details, you can also download the huge version.
