One undated sepia-toned photograph of attendees at an event at the Union League Club. Pictured is mostly men seated in rows facing backwards towards the camera. A few women sit in the audience as well. Some empty seats marked "Reserved for members." Probably an event at the Union League Club of New York because the photograph is in a collection with two other photographs of Union League meetings (see GLC04471.14, .15). Circa date inferred in the same manner. There is an inscription at the lower right hand corner, but it is illegible.
