Print, Photographic

Mounted sepia-toned photographic print of Water's Harmony Orchestra. The band leader, stands in front of an early automobile wheel mounted on a stand and is dressed in a white shirt and tie while the other members of the nine piece band are wearing matching white shirts with "WHO" printed across the chest. Their instruments include a trumpet, three saxophones, a xylophone, a drum set, a violin, and an upright piano. The stage is shaped like a halved dome, and is decorated with light bulbs, hanging plants, and a suspended length of vine-covered fencing. A sign next to the band leader reads, "Waters Harmony Orchestra." "Kingsbury Photographer, 2151 Mt. Elliott Ave. Flint, Mich." stamped on verso.
