A horizontally oriented photogravure features shades of gray and black. A massive stone building with four dark rectangular openings dominates the frame. Below, nine silhouetted figures in hats and long coats walk along a sunlit sidewalk, casting long shadows. Furthest left, one figure walks alone. Next, a pair follows, then several individuals spaced apart. The stark geometric composition emphasizes the contrast between the dark recesses and light stone, highlighting the building's scale.
