Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of Chet Edgell posing with ducks shot on a shoot during a visit to the Sunset Gun Club. Chet Edgell stands, left-of-center, and curls up an arm to hold onto a tether of several ducks. He faces towards the left, but looks to the camera. Behind him at right stands a fenced pen. A gate-frame is directly behind him and chicken wire extends from it towards the right. Further back on the grounds and at left, a shack stands in partial view. Text from negative sleeve: 1271. Sunset Gun Club, December 30, 1916. 1. Chet Edgell, Garage Owner at Independence, California, who took me on the deer hunt to Division Creek Power House and Scotty's Springs. Came to Los Angeles on a visit one fall and I gave him a good shoot at the club as my guest. 1 film
