ARCHIVE DESCRIPTION:
A vintage black-and-white porch portrait shows an adult seated between two children on a porch swing or bench. All three wear dressy clothing and large bows, with the adult in a light shirt and tie and the children in dark outfits and lace-up shoes. The setting includes hanging porch planters, a screened or curtained window, and clapboard siding.
