DescriptionThis image depicts a family eating dinner inside the dining room of the Hilton Hotel at Second Street and Copper Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The family consists of two children, two women, and two men. One of the children, near the left side of the frame, is an infant in a high chair. The other child is a young girl to the immediate left of the man who is near the right side of the frame. They are all sitting around a large round table. On the table are several water glasses, silverware, one large candle, plates of food, salt shakers, pepper shakers, and a small metal tea pot. The woman sitting nearest to the camera, with her back to the camera, has a fox shall draped over the back of her chair. In the background, an open doorway and a Native American patterned curtain can be seen.
