Rex Thomson sits behind his desk and poses for the camera. He wears a dark suit with a striped tie and gazes off to the right. Paperwork sits on the desk that stretches in front of him. Mr. Thompson appears to be caught signing a document. Behind him, an office wall stands at left and drapes cover a window at right.
This negative appears to have been scanned from the wrong side.
