WALTER P. TEMPLE, SR. WITH THOMAS TEMPLE AND FOUR UNKNOWN PEOPLE
Color: Black; White
A black and white photograph of Walter P. Temple, Sr. and Thomas Thomas Temple with four unknown people, August 12, 1929. The group stands at the center on the southwest lawn of La Casa Nueva and in costume. Thomas is at the far left and wears a shirt with rolled up sleeves; vest; dark trousers; holds a hat in his left hand; and a revolver in his right. The woman next to him wears a long flowered shawl, dress, and heels. Walter Sr. is at the middle and wears a sombrero; tie; long-sleeve shirt; sarape; slacks; and suede shoes. A man flanked by two women is at the right and wears eye-glasses; a sombrero; tie; long-sleeve shirt; trousers; a sword on his hip at his left side; and holds a cane in his right hand. The women at his left and right both wear sombreros, dresses, long shawls, and heels. Behind them is a paved path, and at the right of the background is a row of bushes and the two windows to the housekeeper's bedroom. At the left are trees, the west lawn and garden, and part of the Mission Walkway. A stamp at the center of the back reads, "'ENAMELO' / AUG 12 1929 / WEBBS." At the bottom right corner is the number, "408." 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, deep stains along the top, and a mounting corner adhered on the top of the right, the artifact is in poor condition.
