Description
A group of two young men and two young women pose for a photograph as part of a tableau or play. In the center, Frank Wallace is riding a wooden frame "horse" as the others tip the "horse" back. Bess Wallace is at the right; all others are unidentified. A dog is standing off to the right. They are in the yard of the Wallace home at 219 North Delaware Street, Independence, Missouri. This is possibly related to the "St. Agnes Guild," a group of friends of Bess Wallace who presented an outdoor play for children (see "Remembering Delaware Street" by Elizabeth Paxton Forsley). From: Truman home, an album of Wallace family, friends, and vacations.
