Description

A black and white photograph of two men and two women, standing on a sidewalk in front of a white house with a covered porch. The porch includes a hanging / suspended brown wooden swing. From left to right: a tall man in a newsboy cap, a plaid coat, dark cuffed pants, and Oxford dress shoes; a woman wearing an ornate hat and long, dark fur coat; a young woman with light-colored hair wearing a light-colored dress and dark shoes; a shorter man with a mustache wearing a dark fedora-style hat, a dark suit jacket, dark pants, and dark Oxford dress shoes. The shorter man on the right stands in a bed of dirt directly beneath the porch. Three of the four subjects look directly at the camera, while the woman in the dark coat looks slightly to the side. The subjects have neutral-to-happy expressions. The photograph is framed by a brown border / matting.
