Description
Photograph of people camping out on cots in front of a house, ca.1920. In the center foreground, a man is lying on a cot reading a book and a woman directly sitting right to him is reading a newspaper. Another woman wearing spectacles sits behind her and an additional woman is sitting on the ground to the left of the man. A predominantly big tree stands in the center behind them. Left of the center, women are seen resting on an aging tree trunk and a man standing right to them.
To the left of the center in the far background a woman is lying on another cot . To the right of the center, two women and two children are standing in front of a cabin. A partially visible cot is located to the right of the tree. (CHS-42629 is a divergent perspective of the same location of this photograph.)
