Standing near an arch-shaped office window, a man dressed in a double breasted, uniform-style jacket, matching slacks and a white, brimmed cap, looks at the camera. The shape of the window and the faint outline of buildings visible through the upper portion of the window seem to indicate that this office is on an upper floor of an office building. In front of the man is a table, covered in catalogs and brochures. Many small photographs are visible on the walls of the office. A calendar open to “June 12” may be seen. The number “218” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “1” has been written in the upper left corner.
