Mertie West poses while visiting Granary Burying Ground, Boston, 1947

Description:
A slightly out-of-focus photograph of Mertie West posing while visiting the Granary Burying Ground in Boston. Mertie West stands in the near distance at center. She faces left but turns her head towards camera. The narrow, stone-paved walkway she stands upon enters frame from the lower left corner and extends on an upward angle to the right. On the near side of the walkway, grave markers stand in a row, parallel to the walkway. Behind Mertie, the cemetery grounds sprawl into the distance. Grave stones stand in rows that run perpendicular to the walkway. A tomb rises from the ground, behind and to the right of Mertie. Several trees dot the grounds. In the background, a street and buildings are visible lining the cemetery's back edge. Hazy patches of white obscure the image along its right edge.
