A photographic album with individual portraits of the Ponkapoag Dinner Club members - a gentleman's club which met during the summer in Ponkapoag, Massachusetts at the home of Henry Austin Whitney. During the rest of the year, they met once a month at the homes of other club members. Portraits include Dr. Samuel Cabot; N. [illegible]; P[atrick] T[racy] Jackson; T . H. Jackson; Henry Lee, Jr.; Geo. N. Minot; Wm. Minot, Jr, ; Chas. Henry Parker; Dr. Samuel Parkman; Gardiner Howland Shaw; R. Sullivan, Jr.; and Charles A. Welch.
