DescriptionBrother and sister, Edmund Cobb and Susan Cobb Beyer, pose with other actors on set with the Rio Grande Motion Picture Company outdoors in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Standing left to right is Edmund F. Cobb, an unidentified actor, Mr. Miller, and Susan Cobb Beyer. They wear makeup and are dressed in Western-style costumes. Behind them is a rocky desert foothill. Edmund and Susan Cobb were the eldest of Eddie Ross Cobb and William Cobb's four children. They owned a local photography shop, Cobb Studio, spanning the turn of the nineteenth century in New Town, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Edmund became an early Hollywood silent film star and stunt devil. Susan became one of the first female National Forest Park Rangers in the state of New Mexico.
Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing color distortion.
