Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A sepia tone cabinet card of a standing man posing with two chairs. The photograph is in portrait orientation. The unidentified man is depicted in full length. He is standing and facing the viewer with a serious expression on his face. He is holding the back of a wicker corner chair with his proper right hand and his proper left fist is resting akimbo on his hip. He is wearing a dark, buttoned up suit, a white dress shirt with rounded points, and a medium tone tie. The mustached man also has small, round, wired rim glasses on his face, and a white pocket square tucked into his proper left breast pocket. On the right is a tall, white chair with its back carved into a fleur-de-lis shape. The man is standing in front of a photographic backdrop.
