Description
Photograph of a view of a craps game inside a western saloon, ca.1890-1910. Crowds of men are gathered around or near the craps table. A dealer stands behind the table resting his hands on the chips. A lamp and several light bulbs hanging from the ceiling provide light for the room. Pictures or paintings as well as coats and hats are hung on the walls. On the counter in the background are two stuffed animals (or statues?). Legible signs include: "these dice guaranteed to be square", "Lemps", "beer", "field, right".
