One sepia-toned photograph (and one copy) of a 2-person roller skating team that is demonstrating a skating trick. A young male skater is standing on the floor in a slightly crouched position while a young female skater is resting on his back. Both have their arms outstretched and she has one skate resting on his right calf. Both are wearing high lace skates and folk-style costumes. A photo studio backdrop is visible in the background. The young man may be Jack Fotch who was a comedian entertainer on roller skates in the 1890's and early 1900's.
