Description
This black and white photograph depicts a group of five people; two men, two women and a little girl. On the left is a woman dressed in a light colored shirt and pants, with a light colored purse over her right shoulder. Next to her is a man in a light colored shirt under a dark jacket and dark pants, who stands with his right arm around her. On his other side is a shorter woman in a light colored, collared shirt and dark vest, with dark pants and a dark purse. She stands slightly sideways to the viewer. Standing in front of her is a little girl wearing a dress in a pattered fabric that wraps around her leaving one shoulder bare. The little girl stands squarely in front of the viewer but turns her head to look over her right shoulder. On her other side stands a tall man dressed in a light colored short sleeve shirt and pants with his hands clasped behind his back. In the background is a man sitting on a stool. On the back of the photograph is a green sticker with handwritten text that reads "#31."
