Description
Photograph of a woman standing beside an expanse of dunes, ca.1940. Dunes with lines in the sand from blowing wind can be seen from the foreground towards the background. Three sets of footprints can be seen leading up a dune at center, while a woman stands at right. She can be seen wearing a very short patterned dress with black-and-white saddle shoes and ankle socks. Rocky mountains are visible in the distance, while clouds cover the sky.
