Description

This is an 8"h x 10"w black and white photo of Dorothy Briscoe in a white uniform stuffing ham during the Maryland portion of the World's Fair of 1964-1965 in New York. Notice she had a microphone around her neck, as did all the other people who are at the table. Buck Briscoe, an unidentified young man, and an unidentified older man with a chef's hat on were all on her left. Buck was explaining about the stuffing that was in a huge bowl in front of him and the gentlemen were listening earnestly. There were two completed hams on a large cookie sheet in front of the man with the chef's hat. There were several small Maryland flags on plastic stands scattered around the table. The space these people were in was very plain, although there was a sample of a brick wall behind them. There was also a single candle on a tall wrought iron stand; the candle appeared to be lighted. Since this was taking place in the RCA Building, perhaps the event was being televised. ************************************************* Text on verso: in blue pen "Dorothy stuffing ham--New York World Fair RCA Building"
