Associated Names
The image shows two men. One man is sitting with his legs crossed and hands resting on lap. He has light-colored hair, a thick mustache, and is wearing a dark-colored outfit with a white cloth draped around his shoulders like a barber's cape. The man standing behind him has short, dark hair and is holding a pair of scissors. He is dressed in a shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a waistcoat. The chair they're using is made of branches. The background is a plain, textured surface, typical of older photography, with no discernible details.
