Description:
Tintype of two men in front of studio backdrop of winter scene. They both wear very simple white pullover shirts (don’t seem to be button up) and dark trousers; their suspenders have been pulled down and hang loose. Both have mustaches and dark hair that has been shaved on the sides. They stand apart, but reach out towards one another with their left fists clenched, their left wrists touch. They pull their right hands across their chests, right fists also clenched. Look like mirror images of one another. Inscription on back reads Paul Bener at top, Peter Bener at bottom (name could also be Bever). Left hand corners have been cut.
