This is a 10"h x 8"w sepia tone photo of John Douglas Chasner. In this portrait, Mr. Chasner was looking to his right. He had on a light colored suit with a medium color tie and a dark handkerchief just visible in his coat pocket. He was posed in front of dramatic backdrop of light and clouds and had a broad smile, almost a laugh, for his expression. We should all be so cheerful.
