DescriptionA bridal party portrait of the Ross sisters for Evelyn (Evie) Ross Elder's wedding to Edmund Elder. From left: Jean Ross, Evelyn (Evie) Ross Elder, and Elizabeth (Betsy) Ross stand in front of a curtained window at their home at 718 North Third Street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jean is wearing a V-neck, short-sleeved dress with a ribbon at her waist. Evie is wearing a short-sleeved, floor-length bridal gown with a long, lace veil attached to a lace headband. The gown has small buttons down the front. She is holding a large floral bouquet with ribbons. Betsy is wearing a ruffled dress with a scoop neckline and tiers of ruffles. Betsy and Jean are both holding smaller bouquets than their sister. All three sisters have their dark hair styled away from their faces. Jean and Evie look toward the right of the frame, and Betsy looks toward the left.
