Three Elephants, George Biddle, Printed by Roberto Bulla, lithograph
Three-quarter-length portrait of an elderly woman seated in a painted chair (the chair's ear is visible at far left) before a wall with a red curtain drawn to reveal a window, at right, through which can be seen a sunset painted in peach pink hues. The woman—who gazes directly at the viewer—wears a black dress with white trimmed sleeves, full-length black gloves, and a diaphanous white linen cap and kerchief. Her right arm rests on a large family Bible. She hold holds a pair of spectacles in her right hand, suggesting that she has just been reading the Scripture.
American Radiator Building, Horace Devitt Welsh, etching
This black and white photo was taken from behind a lunch counter, with the camera facing three women sitting at the counter. The woman at the right of the image wears a checked dress and pearls around her neck. She looks down at her beverage. The woman at the center of the image wears a striped dress and pearls in her hair. She looks at the camera while she eats her food. The woman at the left wears a dark-colored garment and looks down into her handbag.
