Description:
A: Envelope to hold negatives. Labeled: "5/18/54 Methodist Church Banquet".
B: Negative in horizontal view of the interior of a dining hall or large common room with a number of long tables arranged perpendicular to one another, with a series of chairs lining them. All eyes are turned toward the head table, where one man stands to speak, holding a book. All are finely dressed. In the background behind the head table, there is a large mirrored window with long drapery. An art deco chandalier hangs from the ceiling.
C: Negative in horizontal view of the same room from a different angle, skewed more toward the right of the previous negative. All eyes are turned toward a different speaker, seemingly a woman, at the far corner of the room. Reflections of people at the head table can be seen in the back window.
D: Negative in horizontal view of the same interior scene, with another man from the head table risen to speak and holding a book.
E: Negative in horizontal view of the same interior, positioned identically to the previous negative, with yet another man from the head table risen to speak to the group.
F: Negative in horizontal view of the same interior, zoomed in on the head table, with a man toward the center risen to speak, reflected clearly in the mirrored window behind him.
G: Negative in horizontal view of the same interior, with the camera shifted slightly to the left, giving a straighter view of the head table. A man at the far right is standing to speak.
H: Negative in horizontal view of the same interior, positioned identically to the previous negative. The man standing at the head table speaking is wearing a traditional Chilkat robe of the Tlingit.
