Description
Photograph of a group of fishing club members at a dinner table, perhaps members of the Sunset Club, ca.1910-1920. The group of people can be seen sitting around a rectangular table while the back of an old man, who is visible in the foreground, is sitting at the end of it the rest is looking towards the direction of the viewer. Dining utensils and fruits in a glass bowl are noticeable on the table.
