2015.1064.4.1Description
Sepia-tone photograph, approximately 7 3/8" wide, 5 5/8" tall, with offwhite matting (matches the sepia tone in the photograph) 1 1/8" wide, and a 3/4" wide frame. Frame is black, with an inner layer of gold on the inside edge.
The photograph shows 12 people standing in front of a wooden house with a single dusty window, an open door, and what looks like an addition with another window to the viewer's right. A man and woman stand in front of the door, with two young girls in front of them. The woman is in a white top and dark skirt or dress, then man in pants, a white shirt, and a heavy jacket. The girls are in light colored dresses to just below the knee and dark tights. To their right is a dog (or lamb?) standing face towards the house. To their left stand a young man and woman, the young man in a suit with pants belted high, the young woman in a light colored dress with ribbon decoration around the neck, cuffs, and waist. The dress reaches down to her shoes, and she carries a dark hat in her left hand. These people are all on a wooden porch with three steps leading up to it and a dog sleeping below it.
To the viewer's right, beyond the young couple, the remaining people stand. Closest two the house are 4 men in suits, at least three of them young. In fronto fthem stand two boys in light colored shirts, pants, and suspenders.
On the back of the frame, "2800" (with the 00 smaller and underlined, as if it is a price) is written in pencil.
The picture itself is in good condition. The frame has had a small hole drilled in the top center of the frame, and there are a few small nicks on the bottom. On the back of the frame, the backing paper has been torn off the top two corners.Collection
