Owen Wister, author of The Virginian and other western novels, and a close friend of Theodore Roosevelt, appears outdoors on a country estate and seated at a desk. Wister walks toward the camera through trees on a large, sloping lawn. He comes out the front door of an ivy-covered, two-storied home onto a terrace, and sits on a stone bench. Wister picks a flower outside the doorway and puts it into his lapel. Location may possibly be Butler Place, a family estate in the vicinity of Philadelphia.
