A black and white photograph of an unidentified woman standing by a tree, ca. 1920s. The woman wears a long dark dress which has buttons down the fron, a jacket, and a belt. Her hair is to her shoulders. Both arms are at her sides. The ground around her is full of tall thick grass. The tree, which is directly behind the woman, was beginning to bloom. Two smaller trees are at the left of the background. Across the background is a wire fence, a lawn, and a street. A man walks on the sidewalk at the right. Also in the background is a row of houses and more trees. A blue stamp for Anderson Photo Service which was in El Monte is on the back, along with the number "7." The image was housed in Agnes Temple's photo album which is item 96.7.94.1 along with many other photographs which span 96.7.1.1-.93.1. Contact sheets 2000.159.1.1-.8 show the original positioning of the images within the album. With some water damage, yellowing, and light stains, the artifact is in fair condition.
