Mounted albumen photograph depicting famous New England vagabond "Leatherman" seated wearing a cap and heavy patched clothing, shown smoking a pipe while resting on a wooden bench. The image appears to date to the late 19th or early 20th century and shows "Leatherman" posed informally with work-worn boots and clothing suggestive of manual labor.

The photograph is mounted on a decorative card mount with embossed border around the print area. The setting appears to be either an outdoor location or a simple worksite, with a horizontal wooden surface visible behind the sitter.

No photographer’s imprint visible. Handwriting on the reverse reads "From Mr. L. F. Perrebee May 15, 1905."
