Merry Mayhem

A hands photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of hands/feet (a photo in which the hands or feet are prominent).

This merry scene of mayhem shows twelve young men and a boy staging a fake fight. They're all carefully posed, some with their fists raised and others holding sticks, a rock, and a knife in their hands. Their facial expressions range from convincingly menacing to unenthusiasticly smirking.

The Cyko stamp box on the back of this real photo postcard suggests a date of either 1904-1920s (according to Playle's) or 1906-1915 (according to Metropostcard.com).
