DescriptionTwo men appear in this photograph. One wears eye glasses and is seated on a motorcycle, while the other stands next to it, leaning on the handlebar. The handlebars have hand muffs for cold weather riding. Each man wears a cap and googles on their heads. The standing man wears a leather jacket and scarf tucked into the jacket. The seated man is also wearing a jacket, with a belt around the waist and calf-high motorcycle boots. His motorcycle body has an abstract design on it, indicating this motorcycle likely had a custom paint job that Harley Davidson offered during the 1930s on certain models. They are in a rural landscape with a few trees without leaves in the background, indicating it is winter. The photograph has a handwritten notation in black ink on the bottom margin that simply reads: "Hello!"On View
