Front photo: Fairly standard posing photo. The visible streak on the card scan doesn't show up in hand, so I'm guessing that isn't a blue sky backdrop behind him but it might actually be a slightly cloudy sky.
Back photo: N/A. Although it is good to have a decent write-up for guys that the collector at the time would likely not have heard much about.
