Man, facing right wearing a collared shirt with buttons down the front (2 visible). Pencil inscription lower center: "Frank B. Newhall / son D. B. Newhall Concord / J.T.F / May 4, 1886."

Unframed.
NOTE: I believe that these two people may be the same individual since both drawings are very similar in the facial features, and I find it unlikely that the illustrator would come across two individuals of such similar names in the same day. As there is no concrete evidence, however, I have left the two entries separate. - Material:
