The title points to a Shrine barbecue held on October 8, 1923, though the date and subject come from information written on the negative or its sleeve and have not been independently verified. The Shriners, the fraternal order known for its large social gatherings, often brought members and their families together for outdoor meals like this one in the years after World War I. The picture comes from the National Photo Company, a commercial studio whose glass negatives document much of daily life in Washington, D.C., in the early twentieth century. Viewers may notice streaks and other blemishes, which result from the natural breakdown of the original coatings on the glass.
