Description

A man in a casual suit stands in front of a stand of postcards of Chicago. Above the stand is a big sign that tells the pricing of the postcards, 10 postcards for 5 cents. The postcards have different views of the landscape and architecture around the city of Chicago. The stand is placed in front of a wood paneled wall and wood flooring. The man poses in front of the stand with a straight smile. The artist seems to have made intentional textured marks on the face of the man and hand. The artist also made a solid black border around the photo that seems to cast a shadow around the photo that separates the black and white of the paper.
