Description

The Wests pose for a photograph near their car that is pulled off the side of the road and parked in front of a barn. Mary A. West holds a package in her arm and leans against the open door of the car. Minnie and Elizabeth west sit in the tonneau and turn their heads towards the camera. Minnie sits closest to the camera and Elizabeth sits closest to the barn. Well in front of the car, Frances West stands in the middle of the dirt road and looks towards the camera while she holds something in her hands. The car is oriented so that the left side and the back of the car are visible to the camera. Supplies hang strapped to the back of the car. A large barn (partial view) stands behind the car on the right. The roof slants downward from the right corner towards the center of the image. A fenced area extends off the side of the barn on the left.
