Real photo postcard bust portrait of an unidentified bearded man. The image is credited on the photograph to R.M. Dodson of Arcade, New York. The sitter is photographed in close view with a full beard and moustache, looking slightly off camera. The printing includes a copyright line and location, and the card uses an early postcard back with “POST CARD” and “THIS SIDE FOR THE ADDRESS.” The stamp box is the AZO one-cent format. The front bears the printed text: COPYRIGHT BY R.M. DODSON. ARCADE N.Y. The reverse reads: POST CARD. THIS SIDE FOR THE ADDRESS.
