DescriptionThe exterior of the San Jose School at 2401 John Street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A group of children are standing in front of a stone single-story school building with a sandy dune school ground surrounding it. Wilfred Cobb, the youngest of the photographer's four children, is third from right and his sister, Daphne Cobb, third youngest, is standing fourth from right. Most of the boys wear overalls or knickerbockers with suspenders. The young girls wear long sleeved, patterned dresses without frills and laces, but a few with simple collars and bows. A few of the teenage girls in the back of the group wear white dresses with high, laced necks and gigot puffed sleeves. The youngest of the boys sit in the dirt in the front row, their hair is short and uncombed.Emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
