Description
(Original Caption) 1/21/1921-New York, NY: "Picture Brides" arrive from Greece to wed here--Five of the 300 "Picture Brides" who arrived in New York the other day on the S.S. Megalli Hellas from Greece to marry Greek Americans. The majority had never seen their prospective husbands, their courtships having been carried on by mail and the exchange of photographs. Each of the brides-to-be carried photos of her future husband and each of the loving swains crowded about the ship with pictures of his prospective bride. In many cases these photographs were the sole means of identification.
