Photographic portrait bust of Aida Reed of the Corse Payton Show.  She is wearing a white blouse with a vertical collar, a lace or net shirt front, a jacket with a very wide collar decorated with broad horseshoe shaped ornaments having dark knots or ribbons outlining white crocheted motifs.  A net scarf is under the jacket collar and tied in a bow at the front.

The photographer is identified at the bottom front as "Smith Curry  Rochester, N. Y."  and a penciled notation on the back reads "Aida Reed  Corse Payton show  Leading Laddy[sic]".
