1920
I have no info on our last photo other than the year, 1920.
Jerry, this series of photos—assuming it dates from around 1920—surprises me for two reasons: its state of preservation and the modernity of the subjects and their poses!
I'd add that photographers' equipment was not as sophisticated as what was available decades later. This makes the composition and lighting for most of the pictures offered in this post all the more impressive.
There were technical and artistic advancements following the first world war that made this possible, plus there were photographers whose skill overcame remaining technical limitations.
