DescriptionA woman and a small girl stand at the front door of a house. Both are wearing winter clothing, including heavy coats and hats . The girl's coat has a fur collar and she has a fur muff and leggings. She holds a doll in her arms. Another house and leafless tears are in the background, beyond the porch railing.
NotesSubject Note: The girl in this photograph is presumably Muriel Armstrong. The woman is presumably her mother, Helen Armstrong.
