WHC 2017.17.2Description
A tintype showing two girls, posing with their arms around each other. They wear matching dresses and dark aprons, and matching pins at their collars. Their hair is loose, pinned up at the sides, and their skirts are about ankle-length. The girls appear to be posed in front of a sheet hung up for a backdrop.
A name is written on the back, along the edge, on what could be tape added later. The name could read "Emma S." with the last name illegible.
