A full-length photo of Ralph English standing on a floor of ice with a satiny theatre curtain behind him. He is depicted smiling, wearing evening attire, a top hat and ice skates. He is leaning slightly backwards, his left arm supporting his back, his other arm held aloft with three juggling pins gripped in the fingers of his right hand.
