Carte-de-visite of William Woodhull "Willy" Hall in full-length standing portrait. Hall wears a round-brimmed hat with a feather and buckle on the front of the band, a white and black zigzag patterned scarf tied around his neck, a plaid inverness coat that falls mid-thigh, white mittens, long dark pants, and dark shoes with round toes. His left hand hangs at his side, while his right is held in front of his chest. He faces the camera but is looking off to his right. There is a double-lined border printed in gold ink surrounding the outside edges of the card mount.
