Studio portrait of Francis William (Frank) Rumming of Park Farm, Lydiard Tregoze. The sepia photograph shows Frank, his daughter Kathleen and young son David Rumming, Christmas 1923.

Frank Rumming had recently lost his wife; a severe personal loss as well as her much needed support on the farm and looking after the children. Francis was to find a new wife, Mabel Alice Cox, the following year.

The photograph is mounted within a brown presentation folder.
