This image is of a two-room office suite. The rooms are separated by a window and a door. One secretary is seated in the rear room and looking through the window at the camera. In the front room, a businessman is sitting at a table facing the camera. Another woman is also seated at this table, ready to take dictation. A desk is visible behind the man. A small placard, a list and a stamped postcard have been slipped into the top of the wainscoting on the wall behind the table. A portion of the wall above the wainscoting has been wallpapered in a leafy pattern. A large portrait of a man with a full white beard and another smaller portrait of a different gentleman, who is partially bald, are hung on the wallpapered portion of the wall. The number "101" has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number "5" is written in the upper left corner.
