Color: Black; White
A black and white photograph of Arvella Temple with two unknown women at the home of Charles Temple, ca. 1920s. The group stands on a sloped driveway at the center with Temple at the middle. She has her arms at the sides and wears a white long-sleeve dress, belt, and two-tone heels. The woman at the right wears a dark long-sleeve dress, dark heels, and has her arms at the sides. The woman at the left wears the same as the latter, but has her left arm at the side and holds an object up to her stomach with her right. Behind them is a row of bushes and a wall of the home with a six-panel window. To the right of the background is a lawn with a stone path and a hazy valley. At the bottom left of the background is a stamp with the words, "ANDERSON / Photo Service / EL MONTE," and the number, "9." The photograph was housed in Agnes Temple's 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 light stains along the top and on the back, the artifact is in good condition overall.
