[Woman and girl standing in icy square, Washington, D.C.]
Summary
Photo shows a woman and a young girl posing mid-square with bundles. The two may be Painter's wife, Melinda Avery Painter, and older daughter, Eleanor, returning from a marketing trip. Or perhaps Painter took their portrait because the girl is holding another Kodak - exemplifying the growing corps of amateur photographers who took advantage of Eastman's simple box camera.
