New York 1949–50 Roller Skaters Group Portrait

Eight skaters stand behind eight seated skaters, all wearing matching light jerseys with dark shoulder panels and striped sleeves. Roller skates, knee pads, and helmets are visible, with spectators filling the background behind the rink rail. Printed text beneath the image reads "NEW YORK 1949-'50" and lists the rear and front row names.
