About MeCarte de visite of three young men, from left to right; the first young man is seated on a plush chair in a dark single-breasted jacket with a matching waistcoat, light trousers, polished shoes and white shirt and necktie. His right elbow is propped up on a small table. The second young man is standing between the other two with his left arm around the third man's shoulder. He is wearing a dark jacket, white shirt, dark necktie and a pocket watch chain can be seen on his waistcoat. The third young man is also seated on a plush chair in a full suit with light trousers and a stripe going up the outside of the leg. A pocket watch chain can be seen on his waistcoat and both of his hands are in his lap. On the reverse the photographer's details appear in full.
