Description: Elizabeth West and Frances West pose on a tree in Chatsworth Park. Elizabeth stands with her arms over her head gripping a branch. Frances sits with her head resting on her hand. Both girls wear white outfits and dark tights. There is a mountain in the background.
Though the negative sleeve dates this photograph as about 1910, West's daughters appear to be older than four and seven, as they would have been in 1910, so the date has been estimated to be circa 1915.
Frances West (Frances Lucille West Wells) and Elizabeth West (Elizabeth West Siemsen) were H. H. West's daughters.
