A sepia toned photographic postcard of five men posing with cigars and handguns. The five men are positioned in a semicircle in various kneeling, seated, and reclining positions. The man on the far left is in a vertical kneeling position in a three-quarters pose. He holds his proper right hand at his side, holding an item in his hand. His proper left hand is resting on his waist and there is a cigarette held between his middle and index fingers. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, medium-toned tie, a brimmed hat, and a gun in a holster attached to an ammunition cartridge belt at his waist. The man next to him is seated cross-legged on the floor. He wear a dark suit, white shirt, bowtie, and a Stetson hat. His hair has a wide part down the middle, he holds a cigar between his lips, and he is looking at the viewer.
