A black and white photograph of three unidentified people in a yard, ca. 1930s. An older woman is at the left. She wears a dark colored dress which has a belt, hose, and black flat shoes with laces. Her right arm is behind her back and her left arm is at her side. A young woman at the center holds the latter woman's left arm with her right hand. She has dark shoulder-length hair. She wears a light dress which has a belt, and also wears hose and heels. Her left hand is around the right arm of a young man at the left. His hair is slicked back. He wears a tie, a sweater vest, a dark jacket, and dark slacks. Both of his hands are clasped in front of him. Around the group is a grassy area. At the left of the foreground are some small plants. At the bottom right of the foreground is the shadow of the photographer which appears to be a man. At the left of the background are a driveway and an opened garage. At the right of the background are part of the pitched roof of a house, plants, and cypress trees. On the back is a blue stamp for Anderson Photo Service which was in El Monte, and the number "14." 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 yellowing of the paper and light stains on the back, the artifact is in good condition overall.
