The image appears to be a photographic negative of a historical street scene. It features a row of old-fashioned buildings with distinct architectural styles. Notably, there is a building labeled "Bush & Bull Department Store" and another labeled "F. W. Woolworth Co." The F. W. Woolworth building has a striped awning running along its facade.

The sky is dark due to the inversion typical of negative images. Moreover, the edge of the image has visible marks which are characteristic of older photographic negatives.
