Black and white photo of a family outside a home. At the front center is a pole, likely a flagpole since there is a rope tie-off on the side. Behind this is the family. The man is standing at the center with a cane in his right hand, wearing a suit coat, tie, and top hat. His wife is seated to his right/viewer's left in a dress with a dark front and lighter arms and skirt. A young girl is standing on the far viewer's left in a light colored checked dress and a tall hat, holding a doll. Next to the man, to the viewer's right, is a young boy in a striped top and hat, and a young girl seated next to him wearing the same outfit as the girl standing on the other side. Her hands are in her lap. Plants and leaves all around. At the viewer's right, outside the image, is in green print "Peter Christensen, Fotograf. Helsingor". Mounted on tan matteboard. On back are identifications and family information written in black ink. Photo is horizontally oriented, rectangular. |
