Details
An unidentified group of fifteen African American women sit and stand around one end of a banquet table with a tablecloth at an unidentified venue with a low ceiling during an unidentified event. Seven of the women wear hats. Five of the women wear a corsage of a single rose bud. Seated at the left corner of the table is Bridget. Seated third from the right corner of the photograph is Louise. Louise wears a necklace of several strands of pearls. A woman standing second from the right wears one strand of pearls. The two women seated farthest to the left both wear necklaces of three strands of pearls. All of the women wear earrings. There are opened gifts on the table with a bouquet in the center. Only salt and pepper shakers and glasses of water are on the table with the gifts. The only woman not smiling is the woman farthest to the right. She wears elbow-length dark gloves.
