Can't remember when I got this one; may have been with my great aunts collection.

Thinking it dates to about 1913/15 (divided back cards). Nothing written on the back

The group of workers has always intrigued me. I see the boss on the right with the nice suit, foreman on the left with the bower hat and watch chain. All the workers sitting for a formal group photo.

I think they may have been workers / artisans working on the PPIE. Have been searching PPIE archive sites for the statue in the background, but so far have not seen It. Looks like the style seen through out the grounds.


*So funny. While writing this out I was just scanning the internet and found this scrap book.No notations, but I think it's around the Palace of Fine Arts.

Any other info out there??
It's all fun!

Court of the 4 seasons. I believe there is a statue for each season.

Found this information after using google image search.

Hope this helps

Thanks Jonah.
It is from the "Court of the 4 seasons". Saw reference to this one as "Winter" of the four.
Didn't think of using image search.
