A black and white photograph of Gay leaning against a picket fence, ca. 1920s. Gay stands at the center on a dirt area with her head turned to the left. She wears a wide-brim hat, short-sleeve polka dot top, riding pants, and tall boots. Both hands are clasped at her stomach and her elbows are on the fence rail which is behind her. At the far right of the fence is part of a building with wood siding. Behind the fence at the center of the background is a garden with several plants and trees scattered throughout. Part of a house is visible behind the trees. The structure has a pitched roof and a window at the far left and right. Written in blue ink across the bottom edge is, "Gay." Stamped at the bottom of the back is, "ANDERSON / PHOTO SERVICE / EL MONTE, CALIF." At the bottom right corner is the number, "24." 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 stains along the top, the artifact is in fair condition.
