University of Buffalo female student bicyclist waving a UB flag, from the Iris Yearbook, 1898
The image portrays a woman, presumably a University of Buffalo student or supporter, dressed in late-19th- or early-20th-century attire and standing next to a bicycle. The woman holds a flag marked “UB” in one hand and wears a hat with decorative feathers. The bicycle has thin tires and a chain guard, and the woman is positioned in front of a plain studio backdrop. Although not a portrait of the architect per se, Louise Blanchard Bethune reportedly purchased the first woman's bicycle to go on sale in Buffalo and was an active member of the Women's Wheel and Athletic Club. From the UB Iris Yearbook, 1898.

Two additional younger men are standing on either side of the couple, slightly behind them. The young man to the right is their partner (as of 1891) and former protege and employee William L. Fuchs. The name of the young man at the far left is unknown. Each individual wears late nineteenth century style clothing, including high-collared garments and jackets. A printed studio mark and the location “BUFFALO N.Y.” appear along the right edge of the card mount which identifies the photographer as B.F. Powelson of Buffalo, New York. The sepia tones in the lower portion of the photograph gradually fade, typical of aged cabinet card photographs.
