DescriptionA studio portrait of Susan Cobb Beyer as an adolescent child, at the Cobb Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She poses with two wolf pups named Jack and Jill. She sits cross-legged on a rug; each dog is under a different arm and the dogs rest partially in her lap. She looks down at an angle towards one. Susan wears a long, light colored long-sleeved dress with gigot puffed sleeves. Her hair is parted to the side and pulled away from the face in a pony tail, secured with a large bow. The dogs have ropes around their necks. Susan is the second of Eddie and William Cobb's four children. They owned a local photography studio spanning the turn of the nineteenth century on Gold Avenue in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing distortion and emulsion loss.
