DescriptionThree young boys and one young girl are standing or kneeling on an unpaved driveway. Most of them appear to be holding firecrackers. One of the boys and the little girl are wearing overalls. The girl is wearing a hat with what appear to be artificial flowers on it. Some boys wear caps. Grassy lawns are on either side of the drive; trees are in the background.
NotesSubject Note: The presence of the firecrackers suggests that the photograph may have been taken on the Fourth of July. (Finlay 11/13/2013)
