Content description:
Unlike 2000.1.1047 and other photos in this series of costume party characters, there is nothing to indicate the names of the three women in this photo or the names of the characters. Suffice it to say that this is a photo of three women, posed, side-by-side and wearing boots, turban-like head coverings, and ornate, non-descript [to the cataloguer] costumes. The name, Wright, and the numbers 1-11-25 are pencilled on the back. If they are a date, it conflicts with the rubber stamped date of April 18, 1957 also on the back.
Concepts:
party; women; costume
