AI Notes
A large mounted sepia group photograph occupying most of the album page, oriented sideways (turn 90 degrees clockwise to view upright). Roughly two dozen young men in dark uniform sweaters or jerseys are arranged in three or four rows on the steps of a wooden porch or building. Caption in pencil on the album page along the right edge (vertical writing when the page is held in scanned orientation) reads ‘Washington & Lee — Varsity Team 1902.’ The 1902 W&L varsity football team is the most likely subject (JP Walker Sr. was a student there in this period).
