View of the annual White Elephant Sale at the Old Lyme Congregational Church, 1950. Tents, stands and figures are seen on the lawn beside the church and the Parish Hall. Scheffler captures the festive atmosphere of the sale as crowds of people greet one another and compete for second-hand treasures.
