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 to the front. A young female skater is leaning away from his left side and has her right skate braced under his right thigh and her left skate braced against his right ankle. Her arms are outstretched to the side. 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.
