The image is a sepia-toned photograph of a young boy standing in front of an old-fashioned dispenser, which appears to be for selling gum or candy. The boy wears a tweed jacket with large buttons and pockets, knitted knee-high socks, and lace-up boots. His posture is upright but his expression seems contemplative as he looks off into the distance rather than directly at the camera. He stands in front of what looks like an old-fashioned barbershop sign that reads "MERN SHORRIRING," suggesting a vintage setting possibly from early 20th-century America, based on his clothing style and the quality of the photograph. The texture of the image shows signs of age with wear at the corners. In terms of historical context, this photo is associated with Jacob Futterman who was sixteen years old when captured in Boston, Massachusetts as per provided information from Cocoanut Shaver - Kibbe's Factory by Lewis Hine on archive.org.
