A vertically oriented etching in black ink with dense, fine lines depicts Frederick Douglass from the shoulders up, looking toward our left. He has a thick mustache and voluminous, light hair which contrasts sharply against a mottled, dark-gray background. Wearing a high white collar over a solid black garment that fills the lower frame, the composition emphasizes his somber expression, with intricate hatching defining his heavy, furrowed brow and intense gaze.
