8 5/8 x 11- inch albumen print on the original album page.
When I purchased this, in 1999, I knew it would be difficult to sell. But I felt then, and do now, that this is a masterpiece of its genre. The figures are posed in front of a painted backdrop, but they are seated on what appears to be real grass. The girl and the woman at the left look towards the camera; the others face differently. Both of the women, especially the one at the right, have worried expressions. There is much else to admire here. Other photographs in the album are by the usual makers, but this is unsigned.
