The record identifies the sitter as Alva Blanchard Adams (1875-1941) and dates the print to October 9, 1923. Its old caption card is tagged "Family groups," which suggests a posed portrait of relatives taken during that year, though the record does not name the other people shown or the studio. Because the catalog data is unverified and was carried over from the original card, the exact circumstances of the sitting are uncertain. Studio portraits of family groups from the early 1920s were commonly made to mark gatherings, anniversaries or family records.
