Photograph, Cabinet
Cabinet card bearing a satirical image combining photography and hand drawing depicting a man wearing a blue shirt, black pants, brown shoes, and an orange sun hat, smoking a pipe and sitting on a green box labelled "WALKER CLUB CANADA 12-Ouarts (sic)" on a dock holding a fishing rod with two hooks, with a small fish at the end of one hook. On the dock is a bottle labeled "BAIT" and a mug. In the background, a bird can be seen flying, two boats can be seen sailing across the water, and an island can be seen just barely on frame. Underneath the image is a caption reading, "He said it weighed eight pounds"
The image is applied to a cabinet card, on the verso of which is a logo for Jno. P. Vail., a photographer. The logo is advertising a new block of the Smith Opera House in Geneva New York. A pattern encircles the border of this verso.
