Description

A woman is seated at a double desk, facing the camera. A vase of flowers, several stamps, and an embossing tool are on the desk. A wool carpet in a geometric pattern covers the floor; a small chandelier hangs over the desk. Behind her are two doors. On the glass of one door is a sign for “Jas A. Hayes Surety Bonds.” On the other door a sign reads “Maguire, Private.” Between the two doors is a bookcase filled with legal books. A sign for the “Title Guaranty and Surety Company, Official, Fidelity, Judicial, Contract, We issue Surety Bonds,” hangs on the bookcase. Another bookcase with additional legal books is visible along the adjoining wall. The number “156” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” is written in the upper left corner.
