DescriptionFour men appear in this photograph. Two men in the foreground are picking up another man, and appear to be playfully teasing, or wrestling with him. The fourth man appears in the middle ground turned in profile and looking outside of the frame. There is a three-story stone building in the background, a few trees, and a low stone wall behind the men. The men all wear leather motorcycle jackets. The two men holding the other man both have caps and googles on their heads. The figures cast long shadows on the foreground that suggest this photograph may have been taken in late afternoon light. There is a handwritten ink notation on the bottom margin that says "Oh yeah!" There are small pin hole marks around the margins of the photograph that indicate it was once pinned to a support, possibly as a mode of display.
