A 4"x6" glass plate negative, bust portrait photograph of Bernhard and Anna Rathje, Surprise, Nebraska. Bernhard is wearing a mustache, dark suit with large carnation pinned to his lapel, white shirt with jeweled stud button at the neck and stiff, wing collar with a knotted figured tie. Anna is wearing a dress with narrow band of white crocheted lace across the sleeve cap and outlining the v-shaped white bodice insert of shirred white fabric with a dark stiff, high-stand collar with six rows of narrow white zigzag trim around and topped with a row of gathered lace at the top, her hair worn up with a garland of flowers surrounding the topknot.
