Glass negative of a young man and woman standing, linking arms in a wooded path. The woman is wearing a shawl and a bonnet, and the man is wearing a suit, cravat and tophat. The title is inscribed by the artist across the top of the plate.
There is a black substance on the verso of the collodion negative at the top of the plate. The image has been developed at the centre of the plate at a slight angle, so there is a thick border.
