Women

A group of two young men and three young women, all unidentified, pose for a photograph as part of a tableau or play.

This could be related to the "St. Agnes Guild," a group of friends of Bess Wallace who presented an outdoor play for children (see "Remembering Delaware Street" by Elizabeth Paxton Forsley). From: Truman home, an album of Wallace family, friends, and vacations.
