Description

A black-and-white photograph, mounted on a light-colored album page, shows an older man with gray hair and a mustache, identified by handwritten text as Prof. Carl Eisenschimel, seated in a chair and facing the camera. He wears a checked suit, a white collared shirt, and a tie. Resting on his lap, he holds a large, rectangular board with what appears to be an enlarged image of a stamped and postmarked envelope. Handwritten text is visible in the image, including the words "ST. MARYS CATHDRAL." The background is dark and indistinct. Below the photograph, cursive handwriting on the album page reads: "Prof. Carl Eisenschimel presenting evidence in the Hightower case." To the right of the photo, a vertical color calibration strip is visible on the page.
