An album with approximately 115 photographs featuring a group of motorcycle enthusiasts on road trips, including a few women.
Many of the images seem to focus around a group of friends on a trip called New Hampshire Gypsy Tour, as well as other adventures. The album features East Coast locations, including Florida, Washington D.C., South Carolina, New York, Cleveland, Ohio, and Philadelphia, and many of the figures appear throughout. The images depict men and women in leather posing on their bikes, blurry shots mid-ride, a couple hand-colored prints, a few cutouts, and some humorous tourist shots apparently made in bars. Silver prints, most of the images measuring 2 5/8x4 inches (6.7x10.2 cm.), and the reverse, a few slightly larger or smaller, and one 6 3/8x8 3/8 inches (16.2x21.3 cm.), the sheets slightly larger, the first 13 pages the prints are cornered to the black paper pages with locations or dates in pencil and/or dated processing stamps on verso, and a few with a location and date in ink on print recto; the remaining prints are glued to the pages, a couple with notations in ink on print recto. Small oblong 4to, black leatherette with a tied binding, the front cover starting. 1939-42
