Description
Photograph of campers preparing a meal, ca.1920. In the center, a woman can be seen pointing her finger towards the direction of a second woman, standing to the right, who is holding what appears to be a fork. They are both standing next to pots and pans that are sitting on a large grill made of cemented stones. In front of the grill, a pile of lumber is visible. To the right, a picnic table is observable with cans, cups and dining utensils on it. A group of people standing behind it is visible. In the background, an automobile and a tent can be seen. Tall trees fill in the backdrop.
