[Photograph of Stephanie Reif Harton in Bestamor]

Photograph of a woman identified as Stephanie Reif Harton poses for the camera among tall, flowering plants of a bulbous shape. She stands in front of a series of windows belonging to what appears to be a two-story structure with siding. The woman wears a scarf around her head and glasses. She holds a pot that holds the same plants that surround her. Large trees are seen just behind the house. On the back of the photograph, a dedication reads, "To Bill Anne Baumert greetings and best wishes from Bestamor. Jo Grandma Mrs Peter Harton [sic]". Two stamps of a leaping fox are accompanied with the text, "Fox-Tone Print FOX CO. San Antonio, Texas. May 1953."
