Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
Looks like they are trying to recreate a scene from a Western. Like cowboys trying to get on or off a train. Perhaps the kid on the car is going to jump on the back of the bike. Or maybe the the kid on the car just landed there after leaping off his bike and as soon as he moves over the other kid will leap off his bike over to the car.
Kids had lots of imagination back then.

Ha ha, an old photo with their current products added to the table - with the light coming in from the wrong side for the cheeses stacked up there on the left.
They are a Kraków based company, Kraków being capital city number 2 for Poland, until it moved to Warsaw. 'w Galicji' means 'in Galicia', the Austrian part of Poland when Poland didn't exist in the 19th century and early 20th century, presumably when the photo was taken.
The have shops all over the place, and sell nice tea, coffee, meat, cakes, cheese and things of that sort.
Look at the gaps in the front sprocket teeth, guess what kind of chain they were using!

Very Early Recumbent bicycles. I heard about the French efforts in the 30's but these predate that. Way cool.
