content: A sepia tone carte-de-visite of a mother and child. Captured seated, a young dark-haired woman poses with her child. She wears a dark long-sleeve jacket-dress and holds her child on her proper left side. The baby is dressed in a bright voluminous gown and gazes directly at the camera. Below the image, atop the tan photograph card, in blue ink, are the ‘Strong’ name and studio address [Third & Main Sts. / Napa, Cal.] imprints. On the reverse of the carte-de-visite are graphite inscriptions reading [Alice] and [Jennings] in different hands along with several numerical inscriptions.
