Item 918: Spoon and Potato Race, 1919
Scope and Contents
Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A918. August 9, 1919. Image depicts three women participating in a spoon and potato race, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. The general idea is presumably to be the first to get your potato to a designated area (probably the boxes on the far left) and whichever box fills first wins the race. A crowd of spectators watches in the background. This does not appear to be the same race as the girls' potato race, shown in Item 919 and Item 920. See also Item 923, in this folder. 25 x 20.25 cm.
