WALTER P. TEMPLE, SR. AND AN UNKNOWN WOMAN BY LA CASA NUEVA
Color: Black; White
A black and white photograph of Walter P. Temple, Sr. and an unknown woman by La Casa Nueva, ca. 1929. The pair are in costume and stand at the center on a lawn with Temple on the left. He looks to the left and wears a sombrero; eye-glasses; tie; long-sleeve shirt; sarape over his right shoulder; slacks; and suede shoes. He holds his left hand up near his stomach and holds a cane in his right. The woman at the right smiles at the camera and wears a dark sombero; short-sleeve knee-lenght dress; a shawl over the left shoulder; and heels. She has her right hand on her hip and the left under the shawl. Two people are at the far left and right, though only the sides of their bodies are in the image. In the background is a paved path, a row of bushes, and the two rectangular windows to the housekeeper's room, with the one on the right open. At the top of the back is a stamp with, "ANDERSON / Photo Service / EL MONTE." At the top right is the number, "31." 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 water damage and deep stains along the top, the artifact is in poor condition.
