Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Group photograph, from left to right, of Mertie West, Josie Shaw, Forrest Whitaker and Agnes Whitaker posing in their "formal" dress before attending a dinner with the Guptills at a nearby camp near Rock Creek. All stand atop rock-covered ground and look to the camera. They have embellished their camp clothes to appear to be formal wear. Trees and low brush stretch into the distance behind them. Text from negative sleeve: 867. Rock Creek trip 1941. The Perl Guptills in camp above us invite us up for dinner. Tell us that it is a full dress affair, with spats. We rig out for the dinner: L to R: Mertie West. Josie Shaw. Forrest Whitaker. Agnes Whitaker. Forrest and Agnes were Lord and Lady Gooseberry. H.H.West and Mertie were Lord and Lady Raspberry. Josie Shaw was Lady Loganberry
