EDGAR TEMPLE WITH VIOLA ROWLAND AND AN UNKNOWN WOMAN
Color: Black; White
A black and white photograph of Edgar Temple with Viola Rowland and an unknown woman, ca. 1930s. Temple stands at the center and wears a collared shirt, which is unbuttoned down to mid-chest, belt, and dark trousers. He has each of his arms around the waists of the women which stand on either side. Rowland is on the right and wears pearls and a knee-length flower pattern dress. She has her left arm down at her side and her right around Temple. The woman on the left wears hanging earrings, necklace, a sleeveless pleaded dress, and heels. She has her right arm at her back and the left behind Temple. The trio smiles at the photographer whose shadow is reflected off them on the bottom right. To the left and right and in the background are many trees and bushes. At the right of the background is a shingled roof-top. A stamp is at the center of the back with the words, "ANDERSON / Photo Service / EL MONTE." 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 a slight yellowing of the paper and a stain on the bottom right corner, the artifact is in overall good condition.
