Description

A black and white photograph of Thomas W Temple's room, Cambridge, Massachusetts, ca. 1928. Thomas stayed in the room while attending Harvard Law. Although the sunlight largely obscures the forefront of the image, some details still show a figurine with a sombrero, fringed table covering, and a champagne bottle. Behind that is Thomas' desk, with a light sconce and a fringed larger, lamp toward the right with his ties hanging from it. Framed portaits of Thomas' family can be seen hanging from the wall. With minor mirroring at the top, creasing, fading, soiling, and an inscription written in ink on the reverse "My room at Brattle Inn 1928." It is in fair condition.
