A black and white photograph of an unknown woman at the front of a door, March 30, 1929. The woman stands at the center on a paved area and looks to the right. She wears a hat, long-sleeve knee-length dress which is ruffled at the bottom, hose, and heels. Both hands are at her back. The long thin door is at the right behind her. It has five horizontal panels at the center and at the top of it there is an arch. The wall around the door is brick. The wall at the far left has a column at the top which has decorative leaf designs. Along the bottom of this wall are two small plants. Written with ink at the center of the back in Agnes Temple's hand is, "March / 30 / 1929 / What a terrible / picture." Stamped at the top right corner is, "M50." The photograph was housed in 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 a crease at the bottom left and deep stains caused by water damage, the artifact is in poor condition.
