Real photo postcard outdoor group portrait of five men posed in a wooded setting. The reverse includes the handwritten caption “Knights of the Road” and “Hobos.”



The men stand close together among trees and brush, wearing a mix of work clothing and hats, including a tall top hat on one figure. Several have moustaches and beards, and one man rests a hand on another’s shoulder. The rough ground, tree trunks, and scattered undergrowth are clearly visible, reinforcing the outdoor camp or roadside setting suggested by the caption.



The reverse reads: POST CARD. Handwritten inscriptions read: Knights of the Road; Hobos.
