Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph, from left to right, of H. H. West, Daisy Kellum, Lucretia Kellum and Minnie Kellum taking tea in the Kellum family's residence. The group is gathered back from the camera, right-of-center. H. H. West sits leftmost in a rocking a chair and reaches to the right to grab a cup of tea from Daisy Kellum. Daisy Kellum stands behind and to the right of H. H. West. She hands him a cup of tea. To the right of them, a table sits between the group. Teacups rest atop a cloth covering the table. Lucretia Kellum sits on the far side of the table, to the right of Daisy. She looks to the camera while holding the teapot to the table. Minnie Kellum sits to the right of Lucretia and in front of the table. She sits in a rocking chair, in profile and facing left, as she brings a cup of tea to her mouth. To the right of her stands a doorway along the right edge of the image. Pictures hang on the wall behind Daisy and Lucretia. Curtains cover a window behind H. H. West and the arm of a sofa juts into the foreground from the lower left corner. This image appears to be double exposed with a photograph of the Kellum's family's front porch. The house's siding is visible running horizontally across the image. The front porch steps occupy the space near H. H. West's legs and the foot of the table. Behind Minnie's rocking chair, the home's doorplate hangs; it reads, "1416." Text from negative sleeve: 1716. Los Angeles, California, about 1899. The Kellums. On Clanton or Stamford [sic] Ave., near 14th st. Left to right: H.H.West. Daisy Kellum. Mrs Cuthbert Kellum. Minnie Kellum. 2 films, the same.
