Description

A whitewashed stone house with a wooden-posted verandah stands on a dirt yard beside pine trees. A woman in a light apron dress stands facing the camera in front of an open doorway. Washing hangs from a line, and a metal basin, wooden crates and a soap crate with printed lettering sit against the wall.

Description, scan 2
A woman in a light apron-dress walks along a dirt path in front of a whitewashed house whose long veranda is held up by wooden posts. A washing line runs along the wall, and a shuttered window and a white basin on a printed wooden crate sit beside the house. Pine trees stand on both sides, and loose stones lie on the ground.
