About this piece

Vintage snapshot photograph of a group of men and a shirtless boy gathered at an outdoor serving table among trees, plates and pans in hand, at what looks like a camp cookout or picnic. Written on the back: "Aug. 7 1938, Lake Yola" with a name that appears to read B. A. Kuhn, plus a green Certified Master Photo Finishers of America stamp dated AUG 22 1938. Measures about 4.7 x 2.9 inches. Condition: good paper with light edge wear; the image has a strong light flare across the center that washes out part of the scene.

A dated, captioned Depression-era outing photo with a nice period photo-finisher stamp, good for lake, camp and 1930s Americana collectors.
