DescriptionThree informal portraits of a man wearing eyeglasses. In one photograph, he wears a suit and necktie; in others he wears a sports coat, an overcoat, a checked sports shirt, and leather gloves. He is shown in the interior of a photographer's shop with pamphlets in metal racks, glass display cases, and cardboard boxes in the background; in a package store, holding a dollar bill and a bottle in a paper bag, with liquor bottles on shelves in the background; and holding a can of beer and seated in a chair beside a lamp with drapes behind him.
