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. The groom has a boutonniere on his dark, single-breasted suit jacket and wears a white satin tie with a starched separable collar. The bride wears a beaded headpiece with a tulle veil. She is holding a floral bouquet with the stems wrapped in ribbons and fabric. The bodice of the gown has beads, sequence, and a strand of pearls. The long sleeve wrist cuffs are trimmed with large bows. She wears white gloves, a beaded choker necklace, and dangling earrings. Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate causing distortion and emulsion loss.
