People gathered outside a building wearing various costumes, some in drag. Photographic postcard, 1924.
Part of James Gardiner Collection: photographs of military, naval, and prisoner-of-war camp drag.
The actors, playing a variety of characters, are in close-up for this group portrait. Probably a fancy dress gala rather than a theatrical production, in an unidentified (British) location. Costume balls and galas enjoyed a particular vogue in the 1920s. Men and women both cross-dressed
