The image is a black-and-white photograph that appears to be from the early 20th century, judging by the clothing and photographic style. It shows three individuals posing outdoors, with lush greenery in the background. - On the left, there is a woman wearing a light-colored, wide-brimmed hat and a light-colored dress with a darker trim. Her arms are gently placed on the shoulders of the man in the center, and she is smiling at the camera. - In the center, there is a man seated on a chair. He has a mustache and is dressed in a suit with a tie and a white shirt. His posture is relaxed, and he is looking slightly to the side. - On the right, there is another woman standing with her arm around the seated man. She is wearing a light-colored dress with a ruffled collar and sleeves. Her hair is styled in a way typical of the era, and she is looking directly at the camera. The text at the top of the image reads "HELEN BUCK SELIG L. HEILNER & WIFE," suggesting that the woman on the left is Helen Buck, and the seated man and the woman on the right are Selig L. Heilner and his wife. The photograph has a postmark on the top left corner, indicating it might have been sent through the mail. The image number "3454-8" is also visible in the top right corner.
