Robertson - Being Pickpocketed
This was in the family photo albums and we are not sure of the identity, but believe it to have been my grandmother's brothers and step brother. The brothers would be James Wesley and Robert Louis Robertson and probably center and right, the stepbrother William Olsan. We are not sure. Probably about 1920.

We need a laugh - even if it's from almost 100 years ago! Adult siblings playing hold-up for the camera.

He's keeping his finger out of the trigger guard. 1st rule of gun safety is never put your finger on the trigger unless you are going to fire it. Plus, it would be rude if that's his brother, to have his finger on the trigger.

Nice explanation Tony but is it a real loaded gun in a photo studio?

But the owner thought that this was taken in 1920 - people roamed with guns then?

I like this site and FB page. Been sharing some old family pics here, and they share on Facebook.
I like to use their collection for drawing practice, the fashion, glorious old hats, and amazing facial hair are fun to draw.
