The portrait hanging in the oval frame on the wall was Abraham Temple, family member of Thomas, family photograph of the Temple family at left and a photo of his father, Walter P. Temple, Sr., at the far right. There is a desk lamp with fringe tassels, numerous ties hanging on the lamp, and books on the desk. The young man wears a suit as he has his head slightly turned, looking at the camera with a side-eyed focus. He bears a striking resemblence to the famous actor at the time, Rudolph Valentino. With moderate warping, heavy acid burn on the reverse, possibly from photo album adhesive, it is in fair condition.Lexicon
