The image is a square tile with a portrait of Wilson Cooke in the center. The portrait is of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a suit and tie. He has a serious expression on his face and is looking directly at the viewer. The background of the tile is a light blue color with a pattern of green and purple lines. On the top left corner, there is a quote from Wilson Cooke that reads, "A native of NC who was brought to Greenville, Virginia by a slave." On the right side, there are two smaller quotes from the same man, one in pink and the other in purple. The quote reads "He served in the state house from 1868-1879." The quote on the bottom left corner reads "Greenville History." The tile appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain and is mounted on a concrete surface.
