This is a 3/4 colors studio portrait of an elderly man, posing in front of a white backdrop with an unfurled American flag draped on the left side of the frame. The man is clean-shaven and wears a black Bowler hat that covers most of his short white hair. He also has a thin white mustache. He has a straight expression on his face, his head is tilted slightly to the left, and he is looking directly into the lens. He is wearing rounded rectangular silver-rimmed glasses and an open black tuxedo jacket over a white tuxedo shirt with black buttons, wing tip collar, and a black bowtie. There is a white pocket square in his tuxedo jacket pocket. He is also wearing a black cummerbund and a Masonic white apron with blue velvet edges and a blue sunburst embroidery in the middle around his waist. He wears a Masonic chain collar with a large L-shaped pendant in the center. The back of the photograph features a repeated watermark that reads "Kodak PROFESSIONAL / PAPER · PAPIER · PAPEL"
