Description

Photographs from Photo Scrapbook 7, page 62 Please see notes for additional information. Page 62 shows a photograph on the grounds at Manheim (Germantown Cricket Club). The photograph shows a man in period costume sitting in a rocker in a garden area at Manheim. The man is dressed in a long black frock coat with "pin-striped" trousers and wearing boots. Tied around his neck is a dark cravat. Under his chin are "whiskers". A "stovepipe" hat sits beside the rocker in the foreground. Given the theme of the Fete was "Ode to Olde Germantown", it is perhaps safe to assume that the man in this photograph is dressed to resemble President Abraham Lincoln. He sits in a rocker in an open field. In the background is a policeman (?), a small child and the outline of possibly two women in period costume. In the far distance are trees/bushes/shrubs/vegetation at Manheim.
