“Mrs. Fox” is probably Marion Quincy (Winslow) Rand (1868-1915), photographer Henry Lathrop Rand’s wife. The fox mask appears in several other playful pictures. There is a splint-ash chair in the hut and bunches of balsam branches apparently on a bench. The outside of the hut had a sapling trellis attached to the surface of the building. Balsam branches were attached to it.
