A blurry photograph of Bessie Velzy standing by the Velzy's Buick and eating some food during a trip through Mendocino County. She stands at center and looks to the camera. One hand rests on her hip and another brings a piece of food to her mouth. She stands in front of her Buick, which is viewed at an angle from the side and back. The Buick faces towards the left. A tree stands behind and to the left of the Buick. The sign affixed to the tree is unreadable. A fence stands behind the car and runs parallel to it in the background.
