Description

Photograph of Iowa State Picnic attendees lunching at picnic tables in Lincoln Park. Grassy park grounds stretch across the foreground on an upward angle from left to right. A couple women stand in partial view along the right edge. The grassy expanse slopes downward to the left where a clearing sits. The clearing is lined by picnic tables in the mid-ground. People sit and lunch at the first few tables at center. Empty tables extend to the left and out-of-frame. Palm trees stand behind the tables at center. Beyond the trees, a park building stands in the distance at right and vehicles are parked in a lot at left.
