Description

Summary
  • Photograph of six characters from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Most are barefoot. The man on the left sits on the ground and reads a book. He wears a white shirt, a jacket with elbow-length sleeves, and pants.. The man beside him also sits on the floor and reads the book over his shoulder. He wears a white shirt that is tied at the collar. The third man stands and holds a book at arm's length and gestures with his other hand as he reads with expression. He wears a long tunic-length white collared shirt with side pockets and short pants. The fourth man kneels in the center facing left. He wears a white shirt, dark colored vest, and apron over his pants. The fifth man stands on the right of the photo and he holds a large book in his hand. He laughs. He wears a collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, an apron around his waist and knee-length ragged pants. He also wears strands of beads. The man on the far right sits on the ground and wears a white shirt with elbow-length sleeves, a vest, scarf, pants, shoes and a hat. He holds a staff in one hand and rests a small book on the heels of his worn shoes, but looks up scowling.
