Image of three men in front of a sign that says “Beer”; one stands and appears to hold a cigarette in his hand, and looks
over his shoulder at a seated man; the seated man has his legs crossed and arms folded, and appears to have a cigarette in
his mouth; another kneels and writes “Bhoys” [i.e., Bowery boys, working class men from the Five Points neighborhood in New
York] on the ground with a stick or piece of chalk.
