Dr. George E. Cox poses for a photograph while holding onto a bundle of dead ducks hanging from each hand. He stands left-of-center and looks to the camera; he wears a long coat and bowler hat. Both arms are curled as both hands grip onto straps from which several ducks hang. Directly behind him, a narrow, wooden plank extends horizontally across the image. A couple of pipes extend from the plank on the right; one towards the camera and one away towards the center of the image. Further behind him a house stands on the right and a hut stands on the left.
