DescriptionA large group of men, women, boys, and girls pose on the steps of a church building. Some women wear elaborate hats. Some men wear straw hats. A bearded man in the front row who is wearing a clerical collar is presumably the pastor. Some people hold small Danish flags. Large Danish and American flags hang in the doorway. Ivy grows on the walls. A maple tree is at the right. Hedges, apparently privet hedges, are in the foreground.
