A horizontally oriented gelatin silver print depicts Khrushchev, a stocky man with a light skin tone in a light suit, standing among men in dark suits. They look toward our right at a worker with medium-light skin tone who wears a visor and handles metal rods near a bright light source. A sign reads "LAY DOWN AREA DEPT 10." Metal scraps fill the foreground, while industrial equipment lines the background.
