The group are mainly family members of the Hirst Family, as described on the reverse of the photograph.An oval timber framed black and white sepia toned photograph of Emerald Primary School Picnic held at Mordialloc, Victoria in approximately 1930. The photo is a landscape orientation photograph and is mounted with an oval, white mat board in a mahogany timber style hanging frame. At some point the photo has been touched up with a painted tree in the left-hand side foreground of the picture, partially covering the identity of one of the group of picnickers.
