Physical Storage Location: WSU Photographic Collection, Oversize Box
Written on reverse of photo: This is -- evidently -- Miss Gilberts Graduating Class -- 1899 [926]
Written in faint pencil in a corner is "Iola Gilbert." Gilbert graduated in 1870. See Ruggles, p. 219
There is also a faint reverse image of P93, a formal portrait of Iola Gilbert with six other people.
Edges of the photo show some deterioration (nibbling?) and the front of the mat board has spots of discoloration.
