This photograph presents an unidentified family portrait from an unidentified photographer and location. A message is written on the reverse of the photograph and it states “Wishing Grandma many happy returns, May 4, 1898” It is likely that the four girls in this attractive family are sisters and that the older adult in the image is their grandmother, although she could possibly be their mother. The grandmother/mother is seated at a table and holding an open book. One of the girls has a magazine or newspaper on her lap. She also is wearing a change purse on her belt. The sister behind her is wearing spectacles, possibly a pince nez.
