Description

Photograph of campers playing cards at Big Pines, ca.1920. In the foreground, the back of a grill made of stones is visible. A large metallic container can be seen connected to the grill and a small sign is seen under it which reads: " ELECTRIC GRILL", "Directions for Use", "1st Insert [?] Slot", "2nd [?]", and "3rd [?]". To its left, women are observable in what appears to be a cooking area under a tent; one is peeling what seems to be a potato and others are using a cloth to dry dining utensils.; To the right of the center, a group of men are visible on a table holding cards. Behind them, a tent is seen with a small sign that reads: "JIM and SUSIE'S POOR-HOUSE". A man and children are viewable in the far right, under a tree, holding either a book or some kind of magazine. A banner can be seen in the right which reads: "Puff and Blow Inn." Thick vegetation fills in the backdrop.
