This appears to be a black and white photograph of a vintage movie theater marquee or sign. The image shows part of what looks like a vertical "DRIVE" sign with decorative elements and text. The angle of the photo is looking upward at the sign, and the contrast between light and dark gives it a dramatic, noir-like quality typical of mid-20th century photography. The sign appears to be illuminated, though being a black and white photo, we see this through the contrast rather than actual lighting. There seems to be additional text below, though it's not entirely clear in the image.
