Image of four young women striking comic poses. The two upper women may be Harry Donnell's sisters Clara and Addiella. Visible in image: Two young women, seated, ham it up with costume and cigars while two other young women in conventional dress and pince-nez watch amusedly. One of the seated women, at right, wears a sweater, brimmed hat, breeches, and stockings, while the other wears breeches and stockings, a turn-down collared shirt that appears to have "BOS." printed across the front, and a brimless or short-brimmed cap with horizontal stripes. The room is wallpapered. On the walls are a large number of photographs mounted on cards, a large poster tacked to the door, and a whisk broom (at far right). Information about this photograph courtesy Nathan Lipfert, Senior Curator, Maine Maritime Museum, Bath.
