Description:

Black and white photograph of the cafe within the Russell House. A partially open wooden door with a leaded glass window is on the left. Against the wall to the right of the door is a dining table beneath a white table cloth. Glassware and plates are on the table. The table is surrounded by two chairs with leather upholstery on the seat and backrest, as well as a third chair with a triangular seat, and a semi-circular piece that extends around the chair to serve both as the arm rests and the back rest. The walls consist of tiled panels between wooden molding. Above the molding, a mounted deer's head, a mirror, and painted banner motifs bearing the text, "Bid them cover the table, serve in the meat," decorate the upper portions of the wall. The recto is signed with the initials, "F.S." "Russell House," is handwritten on the verso.
