Printed across the back "Brother Burt - 1918 the old barn he jumped of off. Budd says 'Covingtor.' barn."
Photograph of a teenaged boy dressed in coveralls, a light colored shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a cap. He's holding the frame of an airplane or a glider in each hand. There's a barn in the distance. However, there's a fence between the boy and the barn. This photograph was printed as a postcard.
You get the sense that this boy, Burt, has just jumped off a barn, but perhaps not the one in the photograph since there's a fence between the boy and the barn.
