Description
A photographic postcard depicting a black-and-white image of Sally Cathrell, and man, and a woman. All three are depicted front the chest up, sitting in a boat, against a painted backdrop depicting a body of water and a mountain. Cathrell is wearing a dark ruffled, sleeveless blouse, and a half hat perched on the proper right side of her head. The man seated in the center is wearing a dark three piece suit, white collared shirt, and a patterned tie. The woman on the far right is depicted in profile with her body facing the left edge of the image and her head turned towards the viewer. She is looking up towards the right edge of the image. She is wearing a medium toned, short sleeve blouse and a wide brimmed hat. In front of the three (2) is the railing of a boat. On the back of the postcard, across the top edge is black text that reads, [POST CARD / CORRESPONDENCE / ADDRESS] and on the far right is a stamp box with the text [PLACE / STAMP / HERE] inside and the letters [PMC] at the center of each edge of the box. There are no inscriptions on the postcard.
