One sepia-toned photograph of a 2-person roller skating team that is demonstrating a skating trick. The young male and female skaters are standing beside each other, facing in opposite directions, and bent at the waist. He is standing on his right leg with his left leg extended back. She is standing on her left leg with her right leg extended back. He is holding her right ankle with his left hand and has his right arm extended. She is holding his left ankle with her left arm and has her right arm extended. 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.
