content: A silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white image of Ida James. James is depicted from the shoulders up, against a gradient white background. James is holding her proper left shoulder slightly forward, chin tilted down, and with her head turned towards the viewer. Mills is wearing a white dress that is gathered just below the shoulders and held in place with brooches set with clear stones. Her hair is in a bouffant updo with curly bangs. Along the middle left edge of the image is a handwritten inscription in blue ink that reads, [To "Laura" / My real good / buddy. Hope we / always remain friends / believe me - / "Ida"]. The photographer's mark, printed in the negative, in the bottom right corner reads, [Murray / Korman / N.Y.]. There are no inscriptions on the back of the photograph.
