Original large-format panoramic photograph documenting the New York Luncheon of the 60th Continental Congress, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, held at the Mayflower Hotel, Washington D.C., April 17, 1951.

Photograph measures approximately 36" x 11"

Photographed by Schutz Photo, 1516 H St. N.W., Washington D.C. studio stamp visible on recto lower right. Schutz was a well-established Washington professional studio that regularly documented major civic and political gatherings in the capital.

The photograph shows:

* Full ballroom panorama with 300+ attendees seated at numbered tables
* Head table on raised dais with officers and distinguished guests
* American flags and patriotic bunting throughout the grand Mayflower ballroom
* Event title banner clearly legible: New York Luncheon Sixtieth Continental Congress National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Mayflower Hotel April 17, 1951 Washington D.C.
* Individual faces clearly rendered throughout strong potential for genealogical identification
* Numbered table cards visible, cross-referenceable against surviving chapter records

Historical context: 1951 was a significant year for the DAR, with Marguerite Courtright Patton serving as President General. New York has historically been among the DAR's largest and most prominent state organizations. Large-format original panoramic photographs of Continental Congress events of this era are increasingly scarce.
