Color: Black; White
A black and white photograph of Thomas Temple by an automobile in front of a Standard Oil service station, ca. 1920s. Temple is at the center and wears a tie with a dark three-piece suit. He has his right hand in his pants' pocket and his left shoulder against the automobile's open passenger-side window. Between his left thumb and index finger he holds a cigar and his left foot is up on the sideboard. The multi-passnger automobile faces to the right and has a spare tire on the side near the front. At the left of the background is a service station with one pump. A sign across the top of the building reads, "STANDARD STATION." At the right are utility posts, powerlines, and trees. On the back bottom left corner is a stamp with the number, "47." 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 only a slight yellowing of the paper, the artifact is in good condition overall.
