DescriptionTwo men sit at large desks in a room with high ceilings. The young man at the left seated in a bentwood chair is Milton Bacharach. The bearded man in the swivel chair at the right is Roger Welles III. A calendar hangs above Welles's desk and a newspaper lies on it. A bookcase, presumably containing law books, is at the far right. A small Oriental rug is on the floor. Gas lighting fixtures hang from the ceiling and protrude from the walls. Heating [?] pipes run along the back wall beneath the windows.
