Untitled
Image of Bill Donnell (upper right), younger brother of Harry Donnell, and his friends in the Chew The Rag Club. Visible in image: Bill Donnell and five of his friends pose in tiers for a portrait. A small mantel with a few portraits is visible in the background. The man at right in the middle tier appears in LB2009.13.305 as well. These same men ham it up for the camera in LB2009.13.297. The room appears to have reversed between the two photographs, but both images are oriented correctly. Perhaps one plate was loaded backward?
