A black and white photograph of Agnes Temple and an unknown woman at a border crossing, ca. 1931. Temple stands at the center in front of a booth and looks at a sign which is at the left as she holds two tickets in her left hand. She has a purse hanging over her right arm and wears a hat, fur-lined coat, and heels. The wood booth has a glass window with two openings and behind it are two attendants. At Temple's feet are two suitcases and to the right is a woman who faces to the left and holds a purse under her left arm and wears a hat, fur-lined coat, and gloves. Many men in hats and an automobile are in the right of the background where there is also a structure with a sign on the top that reads, "UNITED STATES." In the distance is the top of a hill and power lines. On the back is a stamp with the word, "VELOX."
