Unidentified jury examining large plank

Title

Unidentified jury examining large plank

Description

Sepia-toned image of a group of twelve men seated in what is most likely a jury box, with another man seated in a witness box to their right. Two empty tables fill the foreground of the image, and a large, arched window with a number of panes dominates the wall behind the box. Most of the men wear suits and ties, and several have large, full mustaches. All of the men appear to be interested in a large piece of wood with a point on one end and that extends from the top of the witness stand to the divider in front of the jury.
