It is a rare image in that few family portraits at that time were taken outdoors. There is little information on the reason for the image.

The couple are pictured with their grown children (l to r); Florence, Adele, Marguerite and Emilio.”

Betty originally was slated to be a maid to the wealthy Goon Ling Dang family, who over the years had of number of ‘mui tsai’ (child servants) working in their house. However Betty became a permanent playmate/friend to Pearl Goon, one of the patriarch's daughters. She was considered family and was included in every family function. ‘Mui tsai’ (which means ‘little sister’) were female child servants who [were] adopted and worked in the homes of wealth[y] Chinese. The girls often came from impoverished families. The promise made to the birth family was that as the girl came of marriageable age, the adopting family would arrange for her to be married.”
