Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of Alice Shaw sitting in the backyard at the McDonalds' residence while attending a gathering in Burbank. The McDonalds' backyard lawn stretches across the foreground and back towards center, where it is bounded at left by a neighbor's yard and at right by the back of their house. Just left-of-center, Alice Shaw sits in a folding chair. She sits facing slightly left and turns her head to look to the camera. Behind and to the right of her, a large built-in fire pit or outdoor kitchen stands. Beyond it, the backside of the McDonalds' house enters frame from the right and stretches back on an angle towards center. Along the left edge, the legs of someone else at the picnic peek into frame. In the background at left, the yard is lined by the neighbor's fence. Their house and garage stand in partial view, with a large cylindrical object standing between the 2 structures. Opaque, white patches occupy the lower left and lower right corners. Text from negative sleeve: 2383. Burbank, California, May 23, 1948. Residence J.W.McDonald. 6 films. All read from L to R 1.
