| Content | The setting for this undated photo is a banquet room in an unidentified building. Approximately 24 men are seated at a cloth-covered, flower bedecked table. They are wearing business suits. The caption under the photo reads "Baseball Banquet by Captain L.W. Robert for Southern Champions 1906". At the back of the table stands a group of women and children. To the right of the table stand four African-American waiters. The room is decorated with swags of material draped from the ceiling and the three chandeliers, as well as from a fixture on the right hand wall. On the back wall is a banner with a GT logo, two baseballs, two crossed baseball bats, and the date 1906. |
