The mounted sepia photo depicts the Colonial Club Mandolin Orchestra of Cleveland, Ohio, ca. 1895–1910 — eleven musicians with mandolins, guitars, and a cello, posed in formal attire.
Mandolin orchestras were central to community and collegiate culture at the turn of the century, making this an exceptional window into Ohio’s musical past.
