Playing Cards

Sarah Krueger and Henry Bigalk playing cards at a table set up outdoors next to the porch. Henry is smoking a pipe and has a large bottle of alcohol sticking out of the back pocket of his overalls, which he has on over his suit pants. On the table is a bottle, a mug, and a bag of tobacco. A stuffed animal cat is leaned up against the side of Sarah's dress, and August Kruger's long pipe is resting on the bottom leg of the table. |
