Description

A photographic tintype of an elderly man with a beard in an oval mat. The man has thinning light hair on the top of his head, and a fringe around the ears. He has a high forehead and hooded frowning light eyes. He has a pointed nose and a narrowed upper lip indicating possible tooth loss in the upper jaw. He is clean shaven above the lip, and wears a wide gray beard on the chin. His shirt is a dark and white vertical stripe, and his jacket has wide lapels edged with a narrow light binding, perhaps grosgrain ribbon. The background is dark and plain. The oval mat is pink with a wide and narrow gold band edging the oval cutout.
