Two duplicate photographs showing a group of men seated at an outdoor table, while others crowd behind them looking on

This sepia toned photograph shows at center, a wooden table set up on a patch of grassy ground. Seated there is a group of light skinned men in suits, gathered around a small box and stacks of coins. One man at right reaches across the table toward a man standing across from him at left. In the foreground at center on the near side of the table, two men with long dark hair sit on the ground wrapped in blankets. Behind the men at the table, a crowd of people stand looking on. Most of these people have medium dark skin and dark hair. This photograph is printed twice, side by side on a yellow backing paper.
