Description
This stereograph card depicts a group of young men standing and sitting in a semicircle. Consisting of two similar images side by side, the card is arranged with the images in the center. In the image, the men wear dark colored long sleeved shirts tucked into lighter colored pants. Some wear suspenders. All of them wear broad-brimmed hats. Several young men sit or crouch on the ground in a semicircle, while others stand behind them looking over their shoulders. On the right hand side of the image, one standing individual rests his left hand on the left shoulder of the man kneeling in front of him. The kneeling man turns his heads to the left to gaze towards the viewer. Directly across the circle from him is a man sitting on the ground with his right leg stretched out on the ground in front of him. He also turns his head away from the circle to gaze over his shoulder at the viewer. The image is lightly tinted green along the ground and blue along the sky. There is text along the bottom right margin that reads "Recreation Time."
