Image of a busy newspaper stand along a road, with both people and animals present.

On the left end of a busy sidewalk a woman in a long dress carrying a basket walks past a dog towards a grouping of figures. There is a man, with his back to the viewer, in a suit with a brimmed hat, leaning over a counter to talk to a seated figure. In an open doorway next to them are a cat and two women in dresses chatting. To the left of the man is a white shape with vague markings that hints at a group of people looking at newspapers tacked to the wall.
