DescriptionPortraits of men, women, boys, and girls. Subjects include Annie Munson and Harry and Lucy Bishop, the children of the photographer Giles Bishop. Harry and Lucy pose with a toy wagon. Lucy's portrait is inscribed "Lucy Bishop 5 yrs old dressed to go to New York." One portrait is of Jimmie Durante. Another shows a beared man smoking a large pipe. Most portraits are posed studio portraits, but one photograph shows a group of four women and a man seated at a table playing cards. A large birdcage is in the background. Framed prints and photographs hang on the wall which has patterned wallpaper on it. One photograph shows a small boy outdoors on a grassy lawn behind a brick house swinging what appears to be a golf club at what appear to be croquet balls.
