This cyanotype depicts a blue-tinted image of an African-American man wearing a hotel porter badge.

A metal badge reading [HOTEL / PALOMARES / PORTER] is fastened to the center of his vest. He is holding a large book in his left hand. The books spine is partially obscured from view but the visible letters spell [RIACHS / OPHET]. His right hand is resting on his right thigh and his gaze is diverted to the right. A wooden bureau partially visible on the left. The cyanotype is adhered to a matboard. There are no inscriptions on the print or the mat, front or back
