Calling themselves “The Tramps,” this group of young men display the latest in late 19th. century male fashion. Seated are W. R. Kirkbride, Lewis Kirkbride, Frank Bogue, Harvey Russell and an unidentified man. The two standing are Charles Bogue and Edward H. Kirkbride. The painted backdrop is an effort to stimulate outdoor portrait photography in the days before cameras could conveniently be carried on location.
