A vertically oriented lithograph in warm brown ink depicts Ralph Waldo Emerson in profile, facing left. Fine, feathered strokes detail his swept back hair and dense side whiskers. His face, marked by a prominent nose and thin, firm lips, suggests contemplative gravity. He wears a high white collar and dark bow tie. Below the bust, loose lines form a jacket that fades into the cream paper, while elegant cursive script identifies him and Concord, Mass.
