Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Elizabeth West stands in the water while her mother, Mary West and Bessie Velzy stand in the background. Elizabeth holds her dress up around her waist and looks back at the women. The woman on the left has her hands in her pockets. The other one wears a white hat. The shore in the foreground is muddy. There are trees and brush in the background. Mary A. West (Mary Adelbert Teel West Shepard) was H. H. West's first wife and the mother of his children.
