Description: Photograph of an unidentified woman standing beside an automobile on a city street, dating to approximately 1928–1932. The woman wears a cloche-style hat and a tailored coat typical of late 1920s and early 1930s fashion. Two children stand nearby, one leaning against the automobile while another stands slightly behind her. In the background, multi-story buildings, fire escapes, and other automobiles line the street, situating the scene within an urban neighborhood.
