Real photo postcard portrait of a very heavyset man standing outdoors near a storefront entrance. The scene appears to have been photographed on a city sidewalk rather than in a studio.


The man stands facing the camera wearing a white shirt, dark trousers, and a loosely tied necktie. His hands rest at his waist while he stands beside a doorway with signage and window frames visible behind him. A metal chair or stool sits near the doorway and tiled or patterned pavement forms the ground surface. The photograph captures an informal street scene with architectural elements and shopfront details visible around the subject.


The reverse reads: “POST CARD” with divided back and stamp box.
