Description
A group portrait of two women and a young girl posing in front of a train car. Each of the women is holding a leafy bouquet, and the shorter woman on the right is wearing glasses.
Probably taken in California? One of forty-eight glass plate negatives originally housed together with a note by Latta reading "Frank Robinson Merced Area Misc. Unidentified." More than half of the images feature the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, or the California Midwinter International Exposition, held in San Francisco in 1894, hence the suggested date.
