Print, Photographic

One sepia-toned photograph of the congregation of St. James Lutheran Church in Detroit. The photo is mounted on white matte board and shows a large group of men, women, and children who are standing or seated in a park. All are well-dressed in Sunday attire. A grassy lawn is visible in the foreground and tall trees can be seen in the background. A middle-aged man with a moustache and bowler hat in the right center background may be church pastor, Rev. August G. Bergener, although he does not appear to be wearing a clerical collar. A handwritten note attached to the photo reads "Probably a picture taken at the annual picnic at Clark Park. The group marched over to the park every year on the Fourth of July for this event in the early years."
