A black-and-white photograph of Mollie Anderson taken by the Staley Bros. in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Anderson is captured full-length and posed next to a chair’s back, resting her proper right hand on it. She is wearing a dark color, floor-length dress with long sleeves slightly puffed at the shoulders and a hair piece. A horizonal crease cuts across the center of the photograph, which backed by cardboard that has suffered losses at the top corners. On the back are two inscriptions written in pencil: [Mollie Anderson] at the top center and [L. M. Townsend] vertically on the left.
