A 5"x7" glass plate negative, full figure portrait photograph of Mary Blair, David City, Nebraska. She is wearing a floor-length, long-sleeve dress of white eyelet fabric with dark lace zigzagging down sections of the gored skirt, around two tiers of the ruffled skirt flounce and across the bodice with several rows of dark braid at the hemlines, dark lace sleeves and bodice with a softly folded stand collar, black belt and a hat with white lace hanging down over the brim. She is posed with her hands behind her back in front of a painted backdrop featuring an open casement window, draperies and a flower-filled urn.
