Description

Though the negative sleeve indicates that this is a photograph of Alice Baltzell Tibbetts, Leta French, and Will Biddick, it does not, in fact, appear to include Mrs. Tibbetts and Mr. Biddick.
Leta French speaks to other attendees of the Iowa Picnic in Lincoln Park. Ms. French is second from the right and she looks at a book that the woman on the far right is showing her. She wears a flat hat with a wide brim. Another man and woman also look on. There are other people behind them, and a man on crutches at the left. There are trees in the background, as well as a sign at the top of a wooden pole.
