Overview

The black and white photograph is a portrait of Shirely White Snr. The portrait only captures his head and sholders, and the subject is dressed in a striped shirt with a stiff collar, a tie, waistcoat and jacket.
The photograph is mounted in a brown card with transparent sheet to cover the image.
Handwritten on the back:
'Shirley White Senior. 118 Subiaco Road, Subiaco. Dad.
Dad born in Victoria. Died 1928 aged 61 years.
Order of birth: 1. Lesley 2. Eileen 3. Alice 4. Harold 5. Shirley 6. Bill 7. Rose. Harold was a twin, but the other baby died when it was 2 or 3 months old, so I believe; they were in Coolgardie in those days.'
