Above is Virtual Tour Close-up View #3 of the photo by Geo. R. Lawrence Co. of the June 19, 1906 NYC Keepers Mutual Benevolent Organization's dinner event held in the Terrace Garden. Below is a small version of the full group photograph digital image to which red numbers have been added by the NYCHS webmaster to indicate the general vicinity of the corresponding Virtual Tour Close-up Views.

Close-up View #3 shows about 30 men, presumably keepers, all but a handful of whom sport full mustaches. Four are seen wearing white carnations. The 30 are near a wall, with a large plant. Note shaded lamps. The mix of light and dark ties and cravats seems more even. Note elevated fruit bowl in lower right corner of image.
