DescriptionView of five children outside of "Big Red," the Frank Woodbridge Cheney House in South Manchester, Connecticut, on Easter. They are participating in an Easter egg hunt. All stand near the house, by a big double-door. There are leafless vines climbing up the house on either side of the door. Two girls are standing in the foreground, facing the camera. They both wear coats and hats, and each is holding a basket. The girl on the right is Hannah Latimer Cheney. There are three more children behind them.
