In this black and white photograph, Lucy Calista Morgan is working at a spinning wheel. She is wearing a long skirt and a loose blouse in a light color with patterned borders. Behind her with his hand grasping the back of her chair, is Edward Worst. He wears a dark suit. Both appear to be middle-aged. The scene takes place on the porch of a building with wooden shakes.
