An 8"x10" glass plate negative, full figure portrait photograph of Blanche Ryan, David City, Nebraska, and her son, Richard. She is wearing a dark, ankle-length, long-sleeve dress with button trim on the tight-fitted sleeves and a deep v-neck with lace trim, a velvet chocker around her neck and dark high-top shoes. She is seated in a wooden chair with a book in her lap and her arm around a little boy who is seated on the arm of the chair. He is wearing a dark suit with knee-length pants and jacket, white shirt, knotted tie, dark leggings and dark high-top shoes. They are in front of a figured drape and painted backdrop of a leaded-glass window.
