DescriptionGroup of men and women pose in front of a large tent in a grove of trees surrounded by large rocks. A sign on the tent reads: "Camp Comfort." Two small American flags hang from the sign and a guy rope. Most of the men have beards and mustaches. Most wear hats. The man on the far right, who is smoking a pipe, holds a small fish above a large basket. A man in the background holds a hound dog on its hind legs. The man at the left appears to be sitting on milk can. The women wear large (artificial?) flowers. A picnic table and shelves with cooking utensils are at the left.
