Family of Five by Plain House

Family of Five by Plain House | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
A family of five are sitting and standing close to the sides of a very plain upright-and-wing frame house. The long shadows of trees emphasize the sparseness of this scene which is relieved only by a chair and a fancy cloth on a table on the roofless porch on the right. The three children are standing in an unplanted flower bed. Some farm buildings are among the fenced animal enclosures. A steep hill rises above the roofline in the background on the right.
