Description

Photo of two young men sitting on a rustic bench with a painted, studio backdrop. They are dressed casually, in shirts with rolled up sleeves. Dick has his arm around David's shoulders and they are holding hands and smiling in what appears to be a warm, friendly and candid moment. Two slightly different photos of Newnham and Davis sitting in a 4-wheeled carriage drawn by two horses. Newnham is holding the whip, Davis is holding the reins. One of the photos has 1907 written on the bottom of the print which would make Newnham 12 years old.
