Date issued/created: Description:The photo depicts a group of people gathered in a courtyard of a nice brick-build building with a wooden glazed parlour. In front of the parlour there is a man with a woman who seem to be the owners of the house and may be the addressees of the event captured in the photo. The remaining people are facing the couple. There are also some children among the attendees. A group of men in suits is holding a large flower wreath with ribbons. Most probably this is a harvest wreath passed to the manor owners.
