Two men pose in full winter travel dress for this informal studio photograph on heavy card stock, dated January 29, 1899 on the reverse in ink. No studio imprint appears on the front or reverse. Both figures are outfitted as if departing on a journey, laden with luggage and gear in a comic or affectionate send-off portrait of the kind commonly made among friends and colleagues at the turn of the century.

The figure at left carries a travel trunk on his back, its floral-patterned top visible. He wears a long dark overcoat, a soft felt hat, and rubber overshoes over boots. He has an umbrella over his shoulder holding the trunk. The figure at right stands in profile leaning on a closed umbrella, wearing knitted mittens, a double-breasted long overcoat, a darker felt hat pulled low, and matching rubber overshoes. He carries a white cylindrical bedroll or canvas bundle on his shoulder, with both hands, a an umbrella.

The reverse bears a handwritten date in ink reading "Jan 29-1899" at the upper left, with the catalog notations "2A700" and "8/23/08" along the right margin. The mount measures approximately 4 x 5 inches.The reverse bears the penciled inscription "Prince Bendon & Walking Figure" with the catalog notation "5/21/06 / OOBATE1 / Ep."
