Corsages

An unidentified group of fifteen African American women sit and stand around one end of a banquet table with a tablecloth at an unidentified venue with a low ceiling during an unidentified event. Seven of the women wear hats. Five of the women wear a corsage of a single rose bud. Seated at the left corner of the table is Bridget. Seated third from the right corner of the photograph is Louise. Louise wears a necklace of several strands of pearls. A woman standing second from the right wears one strand of pearls. The two women seated farthest to the left both wear necklaces of three strands of pearls. All of the women wear earrings. There are opened gifts on the table with a bouquet in the center. Only salt and pepper shakers and glasses of water are on the table with the gifts. The only woman not smiling is the woman farthest to the right. She wears elbow-length dark gloves.

The woman to the left is holding a cigarette in her left hand as she wears a white tall hat with a large brooch in the center top, a corsage on her left shoulder, a dark, short-sleeved, mid-length dress and dark sleeves that come above her elbows, and open-toed heels with ankle straps. She holds a cigarette in her left hand. The woman to the right, possibly Louise, wears a small disk-shaped hat with two feathers curled to be attached, a three-strand pearl necklace, a large corsage on her left shoulder, a pressed-silk button-down blouse over a matching pressed silk skirt, open-toed heels with ankle straps. Two laughing men holding drinks are behind the ladies' right shoulders. Another man mostly out of the photograph is seated to their left.
