Description
Photograph of two men listening to a "talking book", [s.d.]. The men sit opposite each other with the thin, standing radio speaker at center in between them. The man on the left crosses his legs in a dark suit and glasses. The man on the right wears a lightly-colored suit as he leans against the near arm of his chair and follows the book in his hands. The man on the left props his left arm on to a glass table just behind them where two more books lie closed. A piano can be seen on the tile floors in the background.
