Photograph of a three-quarters length group portrait of an Esquimaux wedding group all of whom stand, facing three-quarters left. From left to right there stands an older woman described as 'mother' with her left hand over the shoulder of her daughter. Alongside her there is a young man ('affiance') wearing western dress and next to him another young female Inuit ('Sister in law'). The females all wear their hair up and tied above their heads.
