Portrait of Emma Newton (wife of Joseph Newton) and her youngest daughter Catherine Dinah Newton posing outdoors, in front of their house. Mrs Newton, on the right, is sitting on a chair, facing front, with her head turned slightly to the left, looking away from the camera. Her left hand is placed on a book, resting on her lap. With her right hand she is holding her little daughter's hand, who is sitting in a push-chair beside her to the left. Catherine is facing front, looking directly into the camera. The house is visible but blurry in the background. Handwritten caption(s) in ink or pencil on the album page: 'Mrs N. 2/4/58'
