DescriptionSilent film actresses, Irene Fenwick and Rita Stanwood, stand shoulder to shoulder outside the Albuquerque, New Mexico train station on a brick walk way. The women are not centered in the frame, with the woman in lighter colors slightly out of frame. They both wear dark, pointed toe patent shoes and felt hats. The woman at the viewer’s left wears lighter colors, a pearl necklace, belt, and holds a small clutch hand purse. Her dress has an angular collar and slit on the lower half. Her left hand around the other woman's shoulder. The woman on the right wears a dark sweater and skirt set with a white scalloped collar. She holds a purse slightly behind her with her gaze off to the viewer’s right. She wears brooches at the collar and another dangling from a chest pocket. An ivy-covered building is in the background.On View
