Children in Methodist Church, Hillsboro

Title

Children in Methodist Church, Hillsboro

Description

A group of nine children on the stage of a church. The oldest girl is seated in the middle of the group at the back and wears a crown and holds a bouquet. She is wearing a white dress and has bobbed hair. The other children are arranged around her, some seated and some standing; all appear to be under the age of seven. The three boys are in the front row; one wears a sailor suit and the other two have on light-colored shirts and short pants. All have short hair, parted to the side and slicked down. One girl wears a dress with a dark bodice and a peter pan collar; the other girls wear short, full white dresses with empire waistlines and have large white ribbons in their hair. The background behind them is a wallpaper of flowers, and flowers in pots are spaced along the stage in front of the children, and decorate its front edge. A single bouquet in a pot sits on the floor at the front of the stage. The corner of one stained glass window is just visible in the upper left of the image. The floor is wooden and two small runner carpets appear in the front of the stage. There appear to be stairs leading off to the left of the stage.
