A seated young father and mother face the camera holding their three babies: twin boys and a baby wearing a long white gown. The father holds the boys attired in military style jackets. The mother, with hair ringlets, holds the baby. It appears the photo may have been taken inside by a doorway or cabinetry that is seen to the right rear of the image.
