Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Mary A. West is misidentified as Nella West per the caption from the accompanying negative sleeve. Photograph, from front to back, of Mary A. West and Isabelle Smith standing over a table and prepping food while standing between 2 cars in their camp at Thompsons. The 2 women stand at center and to the right of a table. Mary A. West stands nearest to camera and faces towards the left. She appears to hold a potato(?) in one hand and a small knife in the other. Isabelle Smith stands behind Mary and looks to the camera. They stand between 2 cars parked in the camp. Both cars are viewed from the front and are in partial view along the left and right edges of the image. Someone (maybe Nella West) sits on the running board of the car at left. She faces towards Isabelle and Mary, but is obscured by an open car door. Trees stand in the background. Text from negative sleeve: 1117. Smith West tour August 1913. Thompsons on Owen River. 1.
