A 3"x4" glass plate negative, full figure portrait photograph of Maude Smith, David City, Nebraska. She is wearing a floor-length, long-sleeve white dress with several flounces at the skirt hem and a row of wide, zigzag black lace above the skirt flounce, in horizontal rows across the bodice and around the sleeve at the elbow and wrist. There is a black ribbon bow, with long tails, pinned to her bodice and she is wearing a chain necklace with medallion, several rings, wire-rimmed glasses and a white ribbon bow in her hair, sitting on a stool with her hands in her lap.
