Description

A mother and five children, E. W. Fortune, Los Angeles, ca. 1888. The studio portrait shows the woman, wearing a black floor-length dress, seated in a chair covered by an animal fur rug. Three daughters and two sons, appearing to range in age from a toddler to a teenager, are standing around her, except for the youngest who sits on the arm of the chair. Clothing varies in styles and colors for the children. With some soiling and edge abrasion, the overall condition is good.
