Description
Photograph representing two couples walking down the street and dressed in raccoon fur coats. From left to right: Older woman wearing an asymmetrical cloche hat with the left side brim folded up. Her wool coat is lined with racoon fur and the collar it’s wrapped up over the brim of her hat. She clutches her bag to her chest. Her husban is wearing a derby hat and racoon fur coat with five large buttons going down the length. A light-colored scarf is tied around his neck. His coat goes down to his ankles and the sleeves pass his hands. Behind him, a man in a wool coat, light shirt, dark tie, derby hat, dark pants. To the left is a woman who is also wearing a cloche hat and raccoon fur coat that reaches the middle of her shins. Her hands are covered with dark leather gloves. A scarf is tied around her neck. Her husban is wearing a fedora, shirt and tie and pants under a double-breasted raccoon coat. Other pedestrians in similar attire fill the background.
