About this item

Four women sit in their carriage before the house of Colonel Henry M. Philips of Springfield, Massachusetts. They wear their best clothes as they pose for this formal portrait. Colonel Philips was a manufacturer in Springfield and his house is in the best neighborhood — it has street lighting. Behind the women, the porch has two substantial rocking chairs from which Colonel Philips and his wife would have greeted their neighbors as they walked past.
