Description

Color: Black; White A black and white photograph of Agnes Temple Fatjo seated in a wickerchair on the lawn of a Lake Tahoe resort, 1932. Agnes, wearing a blouse with a large bow or tied scarf in the front and a light-colored skirts, sits in a large wicker fan chair, which is turned towards one side, while Agnes turns slightly to face the camera. A second fan chair is unoccupied and behind Agnes. In the background is a portion of the wood hotel structure, which is still on the west side of the lake. A large lawn spreads through the lower half od the image with a pine tree and bushes and shrubs forming some of the landscaping between the hotel and Agnes. On the reverse's upper edge, in black ink, is the inscription "The Tavern / Lake Tahoe." At the upper right corner is a stamped number "96." The date is determined from another image from this trip, which showed a dated license plate on a car, in which Agnes was driving. With some water damage and remains of mounting corners at the bottom edge of the front, the artifact is in fair condition. Number-Units: 1
