Brief Description
Black and white photograph mounted to light brown card.

Two of the women wear wide brimmed straw hats, and those seated are sitting on a ornate bench seat that appears to be painted to look as though it is made of stone.

Printed red text below the photograph reads, "MISS WATSON MISS PRICE / MISS C. PRICE MISS B. WATSON".

On the reverse, in the top left corner is handwritten in pencil, "[1602ap?]".
