Forty-five guests pose for a group photo at a Doman Industries staff Christmas party. The guests are posed in two rows in front of the exit door of a restaurant. The first row consists of women wearing formal dresses with pinned-on corsages seated on chairs arranged in a rough semi-circle. There is a sign board propped up on the floor in front of the first row. The second row, standing behind the first, consists mostly of men in suits but also includes a few women. Herb Doman, smiling, stands just right of center in the second row. The party is being held in a restaurant with tile flooring and brick walls. The checkerboard tablecloths on the tables to the right and left of the guests suggest it is an Italian restaurant. Chandelier-style electric lights hang from the ceiling, which has been decorated with hanging strings of tinsel and floral arrangements. The brick wall in the background is decorated with painted cartoons of men and women dressed in 1890s sportswear.
