DescriptionTwo men and two women are in front of a frame shack. The women are dressed in long-sleeved white blouses with long, dark skirts. The men wear suits with neckties. The door to the building is open, and one of the women stands in front of this opening. She holds a crab in her right hand. The second woman stands to the side, laughing. Another crab is attached to the doorframe of the building. Large rocks are in the backround.
NotesSubject Note: The woman with the crab is Helen Armstrong and the man to the right is David Armstrong. The Armstrongs lived in Groton and it is possible that this photograph was taken there.
