Postmaster Herman Ternes is pictured sitting at a large desk in a narrow office. Stackes of books have been placed on top of the desk. A large mirror is hanging on the wall behind his chair. Images of a certificate and a day calendar open to “12,” are reflected in the mirror. The actual calendar and certificate may be seen hanging over another desk at the rear of the room. There is damage to the negative in the lower lefthand corner. The number “233” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. No number has been written in the upper left corner.
