A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a young, light-skinned family of four standing outside in front of an unidentified structure. The father wears a hat and overalls and holds his daughter; the mother wears a dress with an ascot and holds her son. All of the family members squint slightly because it is quite sunny.
