Description

Photograph of members of the Sunset Club dressed in costume for a performance of Shakespeare's "As You Like It", May 29-31, 1914. Around thirty-four members are posed in a group, with those in front seated on the ground. Most are wearing Renaissance clothing, ranging from capes to dresses to jester clothes, although a handful of men are wearing contemporary suits and ties. There are trees in the background and the foreground is covered in low bushes. A card in the lower left corner reads "As You Like It 'Forest of Arden' May 29, 30, 31, 1914 Sunset Club".
