A bearded white man in suit and hat, from his left side, stands outside the Peter Tilyou Bathhouse at Coney Island, New York. A gazebo is just outside of the bathhouse porch. Painted on either side of the chimney on the side of the building are the letters 'T' 'I' 'L' and 'Y' 'O' 'U'. The sign along the roofline reads, "Bavarian lager 5 [cents] per glass. TILYOUS. Fancy flannel bathing suits."
