Portrait of a Telephone Lineman

Description

The image shows a person standing upright. They are facing slightly to the left, with their left hand on their hip and their right hand holding a coiled rope. The person has short hair and is wearing a brimmed hat, long sleeves, a high-collared shirt, suspenders, and a strap across the body, suggestive of a utility belt. They have a small satchel over their shoulder and there is another rope present. The background features classic architectural elements and the floor is covered in what appears to be hay or straw. The photograph is mounted on a card from a photography studio in Kewanee, Ill.
