Cooper-Hewitt Family on the Porch at Ringwood Manor

Cooper-Hewitt Family on the Porch at Ringwood Manor

ca. 1873

Cooper-Hewitt family members on the porch of Ringwood Manor doing different activities. The majority of the members are sitting in rocking chairs either looking off into the distance, reading a book or sitting in quiet contemplation. One of the family members (both children), is on the floor of the porch. She, a young girl, appears to be knitting. Behind the chairs, there are four members standing in the background. One is standing between the chairs on the left side, one is standing between the doors while the others are standing in the center of the porch. One of the members standing in the center of the porch appears to be holding a walking stick in her hands. All the family members are dressed in formal clothing ranging from dresses and different types of headwear.
