Physical description

Black and white rectangular photograph. The black and white photograph depicts a man and a woman standing together in a room. The man wears a white dress shirt, black dress pants, and shoes. He also wears a tie and tinted glasses. The woman wears a double string of pearls and a knee length dress. The woman can be seen holding a small purse and a cigarillo in her left hand; she also wears a small square faced watch on her left wrist. Behind them, we can see two pieces of cabinetry; to the right side of the image beside the cabinetry a woman stands, she wears a jacket and knee length pencil skirt, and a chain can be seen hanging down in front of her. Behind her is a small Dutch inspired windmill. To the left of the image, behind the couple, several more people can be seen two of whom appear to be in costume in white, frilly, older style clothing.
