A CDV-sized tintype featuring a group of four individuals posed with musical instruments, including a banjo and a mandolin. The sign in the background reads, “As We Were in Old St. Joe,” offering a sentimental and possibly historical context to the image. The group is dressed in Victorian-era attire, with the women wearing elaborate hats and lace blouses, and the men in suits and ties, exuding period charm and formality. The musician holding the banjo is seated prominently in the foreground, while another man stands behind with a mandolin. The rustic backdrop and carefully arranged setting add depth and authenticity to the composition.
