Four women sit in a row on the steps of a clapboard house, each holding a bowl or basket, with a dog lying in the foreground. They appear to be shelling or peeling something together, a household task made social by the porch setting. Porches often served as outdoor workrooms for messy or seasonal chores in the early twentieth century, which fits the relaxed, cooperative scene.
White border; black-and-white real photo; surface stains and blue spots; divided back printed with "POST CARD," "CORRESPONDENCE HERE," and "NAME AND ADDRESS HERE."
