One boy clutches a teddy bear. This was about the time that Teddy Roosevelt made them popular by refusing to shoot a bear. His brother drives an odd four-wheel toy. Both boys wear straw hats and a glass vase of flowers stands inexplicably next to them. They are posed in front of an open play shed topped with an awning. An American flag can be seen in the backgrounds. Three new telephone wires are strung up at the top of the image. True Americana. The mount it is on is a little ragged but the image is good.
