The image is a black and white photograph of a young man standing in front of a palm tree. He is wearing a sailor's uniform with a white shirt, white pants, and a black sailor's hat. He has a serious expression on his face and is holding a cane in his left hand. The photograph is taken from a side angle, looking directly at the camera.

On the right side of the image, there is a piece of old, torn paper with handwriting on it. The handwriting appears to be a handwritten note or a letter. The paper is yellowed with age and the handwriting is in black ink. The background of the photograph is blurred, but it seems to be an outdoor setting with a fence and a building in the distance.
