File:Children on log, Woodland Park, Seattle, ca 1904 (MOHAI 8358).jpg

Woodland Park, acquired by the City of Seattle in 1899, had many miles of trees and unpaved roads and paths. In this photo, a group of young people pose on a log that has fallen across the roadway. Woodland Park was a favorite setting for family photographs in the early twentieth century.

The brothers Clarence and Otto Langstaff were prolific amateur photographers in Seattle. Clarence worked as a carpenter and also spent time at Mt. Rainier as a guide. Otto worked for W.P. Fuller Company as a glazier and was a member of United Glass Union #188. Because most of their photos are not signed, it is often difficult to discern which brother was behind the camera.
