Description

Photograph of lawn bowling in Beverly Hills, ca.1930. A row of mats can be seen extending from the foreground to the right background; people are grouped together while standing on the mats. Small bowls can be seen spread on the ground around the mats. An old man standing in a delivery position can be seen in the center foreground. In the far left, another group of people are standing on a slightly more elevated grassy ground next to benches and bushes. In the left background, two additional men are standing around small bowls which are visible sitting on the floor. A rope fence limits the area on which the people are; behind it, a house is observable and above its entrance a sign reads: "Beverly Hills Lawn Bowling Club". A second house can be partially visible in the left far background while being surrounded by trees.
