The black and white photograph shows a crowded city street. The windows of the front of a building run along the left side. A woman with dark hair, wearing a hat with a band and a dark top is in profile looking left and slightly up. Behind her a man in suit and tie wearing glasses and a brimmed hat looks at the viewer. He is holding a light-colored parcel under his left arm. There is a crowd of women and men in the background to the right.
