Description
This photograph shows 7 ice skating pairs and one additional female skater on the right (she may have a male partner that is cut out of the photo). The women are wearing costume dresses with hoop skirts and large bonnets while the men behind them are dressed in costumes that look more formal. Each pair has the woman standing to the left with her male partner on the right. The majority of the skaters are smiling at the camera.
