He is dressed in a late Victorian style black suit, white shirt with wing collar, and black tie. The print has been roughly torn across the top, and folded on the right edge, in order to fit the frame. The image has a little sepia-coloured toning. The photographer was probably Adrian Gillard, the Stills Photographer for the film.
