Party, Party, Party!!

I don't know if this pic of a costume party was taken during prohibition, but if it was, they were sure enjoying themselves!

Glass Negative

This is one of the treasures that I found at the 1st Toronto Image Show.  I added a bit of sepia toning, but it is otherwise unaltered.
