Associated Names
The image shows a group of nine people with their heads visible through holes cut in a large sheet. They are placed in various positions on the sheet, with some at the top and others lower down. Their hairstyles include variations of short and medium length hair typical of early 20th-century fashion. The group appears to be wearing coordinated attire, possibly matching the white sheet. One person in the center holds a closed umbrella, and another person holds an American flag. The scene is outdoors on grass, with trees and a picket fence in the background.
