An unidentified young woman standing in front of trees in a field. Given the position of the photograph in the collection and the other photographs on the page, she was likely a schoolmate of Gwendolen Marjorie Howard at Highfield boarding school for young ladies located at Golders Green, in the parish of Hendon, near London. However, given that she does not appear to be wearing a school uniform, the photograph may not have been taken at or near Highfield. Indeed, as is explained in records found in the Futcher Family Fonds of McGill University's Osler Library, Miss Howard, who was likely involved in the taking of the photograph, often spent her vacations visiting the homes of her British boarding school friends.

Highfield had been opened in 1863 by two spinster sisters, Anna Sophia and Fanny Metcalfe. According to the British Victorian history scholar, Janet Howarth, by the 1890s Highfield was a well established and highly regarded boarding school for upper-middle class young women, educating them according to Anglican social and moral principles. The fifth photograph of Page 10, Album 1 of the Marjorie Howard Futcher Albums Collection.
