Photo of about 90 men at a formal dinner party. There are two long tables with dishes and white linens set for dinner. There four rows on men posing for the photo. Three rows sit in the wooden chairs at the tables. The fourth row stands along the wall at the back of the room. The men are all dressed in dark formal suits with ties or bow-ties. They are in a long room with patterned tile floors and white painted walls. At the end of the room there is a large set of double doors. Along the wall where the men are standing is one stained glass window with a coat of arms. On this wall hangs four flags. The first flag is a dark triangle with a white diamond and the letters MBC in the center. The second flag is a dark triangle with the initials D.B. There is more written on the flag but it is illegible. The third is the American flag. The fourth is a flag with three stripes and illegible writing Only the letter A is visible. There is no record of who this group is. "BLOCK & FLYNN SO, BOSTON." is printed on the bottom left corner, which is likely the name of the photography studio.
