Runners? Beautiful Antique RPPC of A Bit of a Motley Group of Young Men native peruvian then white and green and

then white and green and black and reddish pink paint on top

with collaged images and clippings and very carefully handwritten text all carefully arranged and commenting on one another

I would guess that paper was fairly recently removed and it is clear a new cardboard backing was added behind the drawing and a hanging ring added to the back of the frame

in every way it is just right

must have been out of town

Runners? Beautiful Antique RPPC of A Bit of a Motley Group of Young Men native peruvian then white and green andI presume the young men with handwritten numbers pinned to their chest here are runners, but I might guess what connects the somewhat mottly looking group as a whole is something else. Whatever the case, I love the mix of faces and postures and outfits here, and find the image very tender feeling and quite beautiful. Found in Pennsylvania, c. 1910s 20s I believe. 5 7 16 x 3 3 8". Small burn mark lower left corner and a bit to lower right corner too.
