- Description
- A sepia toned photograph of six young men in western wear posing in front of a bandstand. The young man at the front of the group, Sam Colletti, is seated on the bottom step of the bandstand with his elbows resting on his knees. The man is wearing light-toned trousers, a white shirt, and a kerchief tied around his head. He also has a light-toned cloth draped over his shoulder. He holds a hat in his proper left hand and he holds an item in his proper right hand. Three other young men stand on the same step. The young man on the far left, Paul Butero, is looking in the distance towards the left edge of the photograph. His proper right hand is resting on the holster of his belt and holds a coiled rope with his proper left hand. He is wearing a dark button down shirt, medium-toned trousers, a wide brimmed hat, and a large light-toned kerchief tied around his neck. The unidentified young man next to him is wearing overalls, a button down shirt, wooly chaps, and a tall brimmed white hat. His proper right hand is resting on the grip of his gun in the holster attached to his ammunition cartridge belt. The young man on the far right, Angelo Cunico, is wearing a light-toned button down shirt, medium-toned leather trousers, a wide brimmed hat, kerchief tied around his neck, and a holster attached to his ammunition cartridge belt. He holds a pistol in his proper right hand and holds his left arm akimbo. The young man on the second step, at the center of the group, Carlo Veltri, is wearing a light-toned button down shirt and vest, dark trousers, a light-toned wide brimmed hat, and a large light-toned kerchief tied around his neck. His proper right hand is resting on the grip of his gun in the holster attached to his ammunition cartridge belt. At the back of the group is a hatless young man, Joe Cordova, who stands with his arms crossed over his chest. He is wearing a light-toned shirt and has a kerchief tied around his neck. The bandstand is white with fluted pillars. In the background on the left are trees and building. The image has a white irregular border. The back of the photo is white with eleven names written in pencil and crossed out with red pencil and overwritten with the name [James B.].
