A black-and-white cabinet photograph of a man standing with a cane.

He holds a thin cane in his proper right hand, where on the same side is a cloth draped chair, a dark hat on the seat. He stands on a highly textured carpet gazing beyond the camera to his right. At the bottom of the photograph in dark brown ink is: [O. S. Goff, Dickinson, / N. Dak.]. There are various graphite inscriptions on the reverse of the cabinet photograph.
