Object number2010.104.3
InscribedOn verso, lower right, in pencil, accession numberNotesSubject Note: "Bachelors' Club" appears to be a pun, referring to the large stick of wood held by one of the men in the photograph. It may also be the name of an informal association between the men. Although Bachelors' Clubs later existed in many cities, so far no record of a club with that name in Bridgeport has been found.
