DescriptionAn unidentified multigenerational group poses in a wooded mountain area in New Mexico. The sixteen-member group is arranged on the edge of a dirt trail on a steep incline. Behind the group is a thick forested area. Two young children in shoulder length hair and bangs wear light-colored dresses with frilled necklines and gigot puffed sleeves. They sit on a rock together in front of the group. Behind them are adults young and old either standing or sitting on rocks. The group continues up the inclining mountain. The adults wear an assortment of single-breasted slack suits, long-sleeve button downs with suspenders or vests, ties, and hats. Others wear princess line and shirtwaist style outsits; gigot puffed long sleeved dresses with corseted bodices or frilled blouses with long unpleated skirts.On View
