Two young women, Mary Virginia Yellott and Mary Carolyn Henry, are shown walking their ducks through Washington, D.C., a playful scene that stands apart from the capital's more formal street views. The photograph is part of the National Photo Company Collection, from a Washington firm that recorded everyday life in the city during the early twentieth century, including its streets, public figures and residents at leisure. Dated to roughly 1925 to 1932, it offers a lighthearted glimpse of young women's informal pastimes in the later 1920s.
