Shaw Family hop picking on Chambers Prairie, 1889

The family group consists of Henry Shaw, his daughters Mame, Elma and Ollie. Two boys in the picture are unidentified. In the foreground is a folding camp chair and a child’s rocking chair. Arrayed on the grass is another chair, a table that has been set, a bench, and a box used as a stool. Pots are hung from a nearby tree. Behind the group is a white tent, with beds visible inside.
