A black and white, formal family portrait photograph of Senator Henry Hall Falkener and his family in a black, paper mat. Senator Falkener is seated on the left with his wife, Margaret Mitchell Falkener, seated on the right. From left to right, three of their sons, Hershel, Ralph, and George “Harold” Falkener, are standing behind their parents. One son, Waldo C. Falkener, Sr., is seated on a chair arm between the adults and the baby, John “Quentin” Falkener, is held by his mother. There is a dog lying on the floor in front of Senator and Mrs. Falkener. Handwritten notations in red and black ink on the verso. A handwritten note on the back in red and blue ink identifies the subject, a location, and lists three sets of numbers.
