This black-and-white studio portrait is of an elderly man sitting with his body at an angle towards the camera and looking away. He poses in front of a plain backdrop. He wears a dark suit jacket over a white shirt and dark tie. His hair is salt and pepper and he is clean shaved. On the back of the image, there are two handwritten notes in the top quarter: "Robert E Cadow 1952" and "pic taken May 1961".
