One sepia-toned photograph of a 2-person roller skating team that is demonstrating a skating trick. A young male skater is standing on the floor, is bent slightly at the waist, and has his arms outstretched. A young female skater has her legs wrapped around the front of his torso beneath his arms and is hanging upside down with her arms outstretched. 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.
