Description: A sepia-toned photo is mounted on a card with dark brown paper on the front and gilt edges. The photographer's name, Richard Walzl, appears in gold print on the front, at bottom center. The two locations of his studios are printed in gold on either side, "Baltimore. 205 West Baltimore St.," at bottom left, and "Washington. 819 Market Space.," at bottom right. The photo is a head-and-shoulders portrait of an older man who is visually impaired. He is clean shaven, with short hair and a receding hairline. He is wearing a dark jacket, dark vest, a white-collar shirt, and a dark bow tie. A short chain attached to a ribbon (end obscured by jacket) hangs from the top buttonhole of his vest. The back is blank. Left corners of card are slightly worn; some foxing on photo.
