A square black-and-white photograph depicts people with medium-light skin tones crossing a sunlit city street. Eight people, mostly wearing hats, walk in a line toward the left while a ninth person walks toward the bottom edge in the foreground. They all cast long, dark shadows onto the cobblestones. A large streetcar occupies the upper left, and several vintage cars park and drive on the right. Strong sunlight creates sharp contrast.
