Did You Know?

The quality of the photograph and the careful arrangement of the group suggest this may have been taken by a professional photographer.

Description

Colonial life offered amusements. Here, a group enjoying a leisurely afternoon poses in front of a rustic bungalow. The skull with horns inside is a trophy from the hunt. The woman’s laced up vest, along with the name in the title, suggest that this group may contain Austrian, German, or Scandinavian members rather than just the British.
A vertically oriented sepia-toned photograph depicts six people with light skin tones at a bungalow entrance. In the foreground, three men sit on a low step. Behind them, two women and a man sit within a doorway framed by diagonal wooden lattice. One woman wears a dark, laced vest. An antlered skull is mounted above the door. Leafy plants and climbing vines frame the scene from the foreground and sides.
