Pair of American Flag and Cross Tableaux with Costumed Figures. Circa 1920s–1930s. Two vernacular photographs depicting staged outdoor tableaux featuring a large wooden cross draped with an American flag, set against a hillside landscape. Figures dressed in theatrical or classical-style costumes, including a male sitter wearing a draped garment with bead strands and a second image showing two individuals posed together in similar attire. The imagery suggests a patriotic or allegorical performance or pageant, combining religious symbolism with national iconography. Each photograph measures approximately 5 x 8".
