A black and white photograph of Thomas W. Temple II in Mexican costume. Thomas stands to the right of the center in a garden. He wears a white shirt with a ruffled front, a dark silk jacket, a sash, and pants. The pants have decorative beads at the front and back. His left hand is on his hip and the right arm is at his side. Behind Thomas is the trunk of a palm tree and many bushes and flowers. At the left of the background is a dirt area where there are many items such as a small barrel and boxes. A house with a pitched roof, wood sidinh, and a sash window is also at the left of the background. Across the foreground are many small plants. On the back is a blue stamp for Anderson Photo Service which was in El Monte and the number "29." The image was housed in Agnes Temple's photo 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 some water damage and stains along the top, the artifact is in fair condition.
