Black-and-white stereophotograph or stereocard mounted on a yellow card showing five people in a garden behind a fountain. The fountain has a statue in the middle, which is standing atop of a pile of rocks. The five people are, from left to right: a boy, and man, a woman with a parasol, a woman wearing a bonnet, and a man sitting and facing the second woman. The boy is wearing a hat, shirt, and trousers, and is holding a walking stick. The man is wearing a brimmed hat, a dark suit, and a white shirt. The woman holding the parasol is wearing a dark dress with a white collar, and is holding a purse or book in her left hand. The second woman is wearing a bonnet, a dark shawl, and a lighter colored dress. All four of these people are walking in the garden, facing the right side of each image. The seated man is wearing a dark jacket and a hat with a brim. On the left side of the garden, there is a birdbath, with a bird drinking out of it. Printed in black on the back of the card is "243." A rectangular label made of white paper is affixed to the back of the card, roughly in the center. Printed in black on this label is "From / James Cremer's / Stereoscopic Emporium, / 18 South Eight St., Philad'a. / Photo-Miniatures in every style. Family groups taken for / the Stereoscope." Handwritten in pencil on the back of the card is "W." and "t /13."
