DescriptionEddie Ross Cobb stands in the interior of the Cobb's Studio for photography on 115 1/2 West Gold Avenue, Albuquerque, New Mexico. She wears a dark outfit with a diamond pattern ankle length skirt, a blouse with a high collar and bow around the neck, and her hair is pulled back into a chignon bun. She looks down at something in her hands. The walls are covered in a richly textured and floral-patterned wallpaper with ornately framed paintings and photographs hanging, a side table filled with propped photographic prints, a satin fringed sign with a portrait printed onto it with "COBB'S STUDIO" above and below it. The left side of the glass plate is broken. Emerging from the missing area is a seated figure wearing a hat and long skirt. Eddie Ross Cobb and her husband, William Cobb, owned a local photography studio spanning the turn of the nineteenth century in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. They had four children. William died due to Tuberculosis in 1909 and Eddie kept the shop running for over thirty more years with the help of her children. Eddie was one of New Mexico's territorial governor, Edmund G. Ross’s, seven children.
