A well-dressed couple stand in the back of an chauffeur-driven open automobile on the drive at Black Point Estate. The woman, who is wearing a very tall hat, holds an American flag. There is a pillar on each side of the drive; the left pillar has a sign that reads: "Mrs. C. Seipp," and on the right pillar, "Autos Run Slow." A boy stands watching on the right.
