Description
Photograph of a woman fishing from a boat, with a man at her side, ca.1920. To the right of the center, a woman can be seen holding a fishing rod
she is well-dressed in casual clothes and sitting on a wooden chair by the edge of a boat. A man is standing to her left while holding a long stick with a hook on its end, who appears to be assisting her with the catch. An open-air cabin is partially viewable behind them to the right and a lamp is sitting on its roof. Below the woman, on the side of the boat, a sign is visible which reads: "MAY BE". Water is observable in the background while several boats are floating. Further in the back, a large building and a hillside can be seen.
