Description

A black-and-white photographic print showing a formally dressed man and woman standing on a concrete sidewalk in front of a residential house. The visual composition features the man on the left side of the frame wearing a dark, well-tailored suit and a light-colored fedora-style hat accented with a dark ribbon around the crown. The woman stands to his right, attired in a dark, knee-length jacket and a matching skirt. Her ensemble is finished with a luxurious fur wrap draped over her shoulders and a wide-brimmed hat that casts a soft shadow across her upper face, characteristic of mid-twentieth-century fashion. This photograph is one of four separate images historically affixed to this side of a sheet of heavy black construction paper, likely originating from a vintage scrapbook or family album.
