Image of Harry Donnell's younger brother Bill (upper left) and five members of the Chew The Rag Club (C. T. R. C.) hamming it up for a portrait. Visible in image: Bill Donnell and five other men pose with an eclectic assortment of hats, an umbrella, a chamber pot or wash basin, and several suspicious-looking bottles. Behind them are visible a wicker chair and a small mantel with a few portraits. These same men strike a more sober pose in LB2009.13.298. The room appears to have reversed between the two photographs, but both images are oriented correctly. Perhaps one plate was loaded backward?
