Description

Photograph of Attorney Eugene Williams going over paperwork after Mrs. Clara Steeger’s surrender. They are in an office sitting at a desk, with a window behind them. Clara wears a fur coat and holds a book in her lap, while Eugene wears a suit and holds papers in his hand. Behind both of them is a pole that appears to be part of a radiator system that was quite commonplace in the early 20th century.
