content: A black and white photograph of J. C. Gordon and another unidentified man performing on saxophones in a bar. The saxophonist standing closest to the foreground bends forward and rests the saxophone on his proper right knee; sweat rolls down his face as he plays. The other saxophonist stands to the right of the first saxophonist in an upright position and plays with his eyes closed. A man and woman standing behind the bar watch the saxophonists as they play. There is an imprint of a palm tree in the bottom right corner of the border on the front of the photograph. The back of the photograph has an inscription, by hand, of the number: [1455.04] and a photographer's stamp.
