DescriptionWedding portrait of an unidentified bride and groom at the Cobb Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The groom stands on the left and the bride on the right. Both wear white gloves and look at the camera without smiling. The groom has a boutonniere on his dark, single-breasted suit jacket and wears a white satin tie and his neck is covered in layers of collars. There is a round pin at the knot of the tie. The bride has a veil with a garland trim. She is holding a floral bouquet with the stems wrapped in ribbons and fabric. There is a floral gem stone brooch pined to the base of the neckline and wears a cross necklace. Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing distortion and emulsion loss.
