A black and white photograph of Gay standing in front of a statue, ca. 1920s. Gay stands at the center on a paved walk and has her head turned to the left. She wears a wide-brim hat, long dress, jacket, and pumps. Both of her arms are in front of her and under the left she holds a handbag. The statue is behind her atop a stone pedestal. The image is that of Christ. Across the back of this is a lawn with many bushes and plants scattered throughout, including a palm at the left. Across the background are three arches of an arcade. The top of the arcade is lined with tiles. Written in blue ink across the bottom edge is, "Gay." Stamped at the center of the back is, "ANDERSON / Photo Service / EL MONTE." At the bottom right corner is the number, "6." 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 and yellowing of the paper, the artifact is in fair condition.
