Description

Photograph of Sunset Club members posing during a picnic "under the oaks", ca.1905. The club members are seated in wooden chairs around a long rectangular table just to the right of center. There is another table perpendicular to it in the background, and more members are seated around it. The tables are decorated with large round lanterns held up by thin wooden poles, and there is a stuffed(?) goat on the table in the foreground. A man in a chef's uniform is sanding behind the second table at left. A sign near him reads "It is...laugh".
