Outdoor group of 13 ladies outside.

Against backdrop of large building with elaborate window. Women are wearing fancy dresses (light and dark), many with fancy hats. They are in two rows, the front row on chairs. Looks like the 1910s. Bald prairie landscape and sky on side. Photo is taken through wavy wire fence. Some women are holding flowers. Envelope says "Sommerfeld Girls, summer."

Small print on cardboard backing.

Three men in hats and suits walking down village street. Can see trees, fences and houses on both sides. Print is badly yellowed and faded with a crack in paper. The photo is a good example of a typical Russian Mennonite street village.
