The photo depicts a large group of people posing for a wedding photo in the middle of a farm courtyard. In the foreground there is a woman in a wedding dress and next to her a man wearing a military coat and a cap – probably the groom. All people are wearing winter coats, which suggests that the photo was taken during a cold season. Several women are wearing white dresses underneath their coats (bridesmaids?). There are thatched dwelling houses visible in the background ; The photo sent to the contest named “Photography of the Polish village pre-1948” organized in 1983 by the quarterly “Fotografia” (Photography) and the weekly “Nowa Wieś” (New village). Copy of the photo kept at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (former Institute for the History of Material Culture)
