A black and white photograph of Thomas Temple at Mission San Gabriel, ca. 1920s. Temple stands at the center on a brick floor. With his left hand he holds a cigar which he holds up to his mouth, while the right arm is behind his back. He rests his right foot on a small boulder and he wears a tie, dark three-piece suit, and boots. To the right is dirt and flowers, and behind him is a rose bush on a trellis. Across the back are three models of the California missions, with Mission San Gabriel at the far right. They are housed in a structure which has a short stone-lined wall, double-beam fence, and wood roof. At the top right corner of the back 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 the back, the artifact is in fair condition.
