Photograph of people in front of a park or a nursery fenced with chickenwire. There is an elderly man to the right of the photograph, a couple and a young child standing on the left, a young woman standing in the middle, and two young women sitting down in the front.

An earlier catalogue record identifies the man on the left as Bernard Hill with his son. However, he does not resemble Bernard Hilll.
