Black-and-white photograph of a bare-chested young man standing on grass in front of a building, wearing dark shorts hand-lettered with words that appear to include "PROFESSOR" and a wide belt lettered "PRINCE", and holding a fan or whisk. The outfit suggests a boxer, wrestler or performer. The reverse gives a name and an address in Koforidua.
