This informal scene is at the residence of Lewis M. (McLean) Keene, 545 East Fifth Street where the photographer has posed family members with reading materials. Lewis M. Keene, Sr. casually leans back in his easy chair and looks contemplatively at the camera. He holds a cigar in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. The chair is upholstered in leather with diamond point tufting. A portrait of Lewis M. Keene in his younger years hangs above his head. Stella Keene, niece of Lewis., is seated at the left, her head pillowed by a cushion. She is wearing reading glasses and is holding a novel, "A Double Wedding" by Mrs. E.A. W_____. "Bert" Keene (Charles Albert), son of Lewis M. Keene, is also wearing reading glasses and is staring intently at a newspaper. William H. Munger stands behind the family near the doorway. He is holding a cigar and is resting his hand on the stack of papers on a table which has been covered with an oriental rug. A gas reading lamp with a glass chimney and a fluted milk glass shade stands on the table near the readers. A rubber hose leads from the lamp to the gas jet on the wall above Lewis's chair. The box on the table with its key is most likely a tobacco humidor.
