A square black-and-white photograph depicts a middle-aged light-skinned man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a button-down shirt standing at a store counter using a meat slicer. Behind him is a mulitude of products: canned goods, hanging bananas, newspaper-wrapped goods, and more. His gaze is downcast upon the slicer.
