It appears to document a historical moment with two men working together at a pipe or boring apparatus, likely part of a construction project. Both men are dressed in overalls and hats, suggesting work attire suitable for manual labor. There's a handwritten note on the image that reads, "Making borings, driving down pipe, Harvard Sq. Aug. 17, 1906," which indicates the location (Harvard Square) and the year the photograph was taken (1906).

The original positive image would reveal more detail and clarity.
