I have looked at the pic's a bunch of times.
I am sure the first 3 dogs left to right are E Setters. The 4th dog is certainly likely a red and white setter as these were here early.
My wife who is a pro genealogist says the two fellows on the left are either brothers or father and son.
The guns are certainly interesting. I think the gun on the far left could be a Lefever side cocker. Just MHO.
This looks like a likely group of hunters that may have frequented "the drowned grounds" in Orange County NY.
I really like the "tall spats" on the guy on the left. I want a pair like that.
