DescriptionView of Theodora and Halstead Dorey standing side-by-side outdoors. There is snow on the ground and the trees around them are bare. There appears to be a stream or plowed street running behind them and an open field in the distance, beyond the trees. Theodora is wearing a hat and long coat that are both trimmed with fur and Halstead is wearing his military uniform. The photograph was probably taken for a card or postcard to be sent at Christmas time.
