This black-and-white photograph is a portrait of John H. Copeland seated in a chair with his left elbow propped on a table. He faces straight to the camera and has his right thumb tucked into the opening of his jacket with his fingers in front of the jacket. He wears a double-breasted dark-colored short jacket, plaid pants, a white shirt, a plaid shawl draped over his shoulders, and a large plaid bowtie at his neck. He has a mustache and a neckbeard. Copeland's cheeks are hand-tinted pink and a gold ring on his right index finger is gilded gold. The tintype is housed under glass in a metal frame and inside a burgundy velvet-lined black wooden case with an embossed leather cover. The photograph (a) and lid (b) portions of the case have become completely detached. The case closes with a hook on the right side. A piece of paper is adhered to the top of the lid (b) with handwritten text in ink reading: "Mr. John Copeland / Care of David Miller / Thomasville / Georgia".
