A black-and-white photograph of two (2) women and two (2) men standing in pairs in a grassy field. The woman on the proper left is wearing a dark dress, a long, light-colored necklace and heels. Her hands are crossed in front of her. She is turned partially away from the man standing next to her, and she is smiling. Her companion is wearing a dark 3-piece suit with a light-colored shirt, dark necktie and pocket square, and a derby cap. He is squared off to the camera, with his arms at his sides, and he is not smiling. The pair on the proper right are both turned three-quarters away from the camera so that they face the pair on the proper left. Both are smiling. The woman in this pair is leaning slightly back towards the man; she is wearing a dark dress, a light colored necklace, a bracelet on her left arm, and shoes.
