A young man in a white shirt, dark tie and vest stands beside a large folding view camera mounted on a wooden tripod, holding a cable release in his right hand. The setting is a photographer's studio with a painted scenic backdrop and a carved, ornate railing or prop behind him. Such self-portraits of working photographers were commonly printed on real photo postcard stock in the early 20th century, when small studios and itinerant photographers served towns across the country.
