DescriptionPhotograph of a young African American couple sitting on a rustic bench in an outdoor setting. Both subjects are well dressed; he in a three-piece suit with a visible watch chain and bowler hat, she in a printed light dress with fingerless gloves, a purse on her lap, and earrings. The man to the left of the image appears relaxed, with hands clasped in his lap and ankles loosely crossed. The woman sits to the right, turns her body toward the man, and averts her gaze from the camera. Unusual for the period, she smiles slightly. On View
