B/W Photograph
Jesse Peter (second from left) and 3 other men (unknown) in unidentified locale. All four men are in front of a white picket fence which, in turn, is in front of a wood-sided house. The windows on the house have arched frames and the porch has a bit of "gingerbread" woodwork in the top corners, somewhat suggestive of Victorian-style architecture.

- Cultural Context: Jesse Peter was a woodshop teacher at Santa Rosa Middle School and a good friend of Floyd P. Bailey who was president of the Jr. College at that time. Peter would conduct fieldexpeditions in order to gather specimens of various sorts for display at the SRJC Natural History Museum (which subsequently evolved into the Native American Art Museum). He solicited the assistance of college students to help collect the specimens and these photos are from one of those expeditions.
