This 1/6 plate tintype photograph depicts an unidentified man from the waist up leaning against a wall with his left arm. He wears a coat and vest. A chain visible under the jacket suggests he carries a pocket watch. The tintype is housed in a brown case and has an oval gold metal frame with a decorative scroll motif.
