A gelatin silver personal portrait from the Donald A. Hall Estate Collection capturing Donald A. Hall Sr. and his wife Elisabeth outdoors in Southern California. Hall is dressed in a tailored three-piece business suit with vest and tie, looking with an affectionate smile at Elisabeth, who wears a formal dark afternoon dress with a stylized collar bow, a floral shoulder corsage, a cloche hat, and carries a wool overcoat. Framed against lush garden foliage, this photograph preserves an intimate record of Hall's family life following his engineering tenure at Ryan Airlines.
