Keiko-kai of Lemon Creek, 1944

This item has an indeterminable GMD—digital object is not available at this time.

This is an old photograph that features approximately sixty people. The first row are seated on benches and the three rows of people behind them stand on the ground then the front porch of a building. The group is dressed in formal attire. The men and older women wear ribbons pinned to their shirts and jackets. The building has a double door and two wooden columns on the porch. In the foreground, it is possible to view a path made of stones and thinly cut pieces of wood (perhaps a tree trunk or branch sawed thinly). The text, written in write, at the bottom of the photograph reads: “Kei O-Kai of Lemon Creek Bukkuo Hall - 1944 -”. The photograph is mounted on a piece of thick, beige card paper. The verso of the card features a stamp that reads: “Photograph - Slocan”.

The photograph was originally contained in a standard orange postage envelope with the words “OLD PHOTOGRAPHS” written in pen. Another photograph (item 1995.125.1.2.6) was also contained in this envelope.
