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.
This black-and-white photograph depicts an older, mustached man in front of a body of water. Dressed in a flat cap, suit, tie and long raincoat, he sits with his hands folded over the handle of his cane in front of him. He does not look at the viewer but rather gazes directly ahead. Behind him are two partially visible figures; one sitting and one reclining, both with their back to the viewer.
