A sepia tone photographic postcard of Andrew and Allen Austin. The postcard is in landscape orientation. The men are depicted in full length, with one standing and one seated on a low stone wall prop just left of center. The man on the left is facing the viewer, standing with his hands clasped together at his waist. He is wearing a dark tone pinstripe suit, a white dress shirt, a dark tone tie, and two tone wingtip shoes. He also has a white pocket square tucked in his proper left breast pocket, a round lapel pin, and a straw boater hat with a dark band at the crown. The man seated on the low stone wall proper on the right is also facing the viewer, with his leg turned slightly towards the left edge of the image. His arms are crossed over his lap and he has a serious expression on his face.
