Description

REPRODUCTION WINDOW OF THOMAS TEMPLE, LA CASA NUEVA MAIN HALL Color: Black; White A black and white photograph of the reproduction window of Thomas Temple in the La Casa Nueva Main Hall, ca. 1980. The close-up shows the image without any framing from the door visible. Thomas is shown wearing a multi-colored sarape over his right shoulder and has a mariachi suit that is dark with some light-colored detailing on the sleeves, front, and sides of the trousers. He also wears a white shirt and some sort of necktie. In his right hand, held at his chest, he holds a cigarette, while his left arm leans on a window sill and his left hand is in his coat pocket. The window has wrought iron bars and some stone blocking at the bottom, but little indication otherwise of what the structure was (it was the San Gabriel Post Office, built in 1923 by Walter P. Temple.) Because of the lighting, the area surrounding the image is in black. With little indication of wear or damage, the artifact is in good condition. Number-Units: 1
