Update 2008: Black and white glossy reprint of a man dressed in dark colored pants, vest, bow type tie, jacket and hat standing on a snow covered roof of a log house with a wooden plank roof. A huge pile of snow is behind him with evergreen trees at the horizon. The man has his right arm propped on a shovel handle and his left is propped on his waist. A pipe chimney is on right in photo and appears to be partially snow covered at top center. Written in pencil on back: Battle. Typed on back: 1899 21. Stamped on back in black ink: Professional Photo Services; April 23, '65; Frank J. Meyers; Rawlins, Wyo. There are very few tiny black and white dots from negative process . Very slight wearing of emulsion at photo edges . it is unclear if the abrasion is from photo processing or wear.
