The image is a black and white photograph that appears to be a construction scene. The words "Kendall Sq. Station, W. Side" are visible at the bottom left, and "April 20, 19" at the bottom center, indicating the location and likely the year the photo was taken. A serial number "4588" appears in the bottom right corner.

The photograph showcases a complex arrangement of wooden beams, scaffolding, and what looks like reinforcement structures for concrete, suggesting the construction of an underground space, likely the subway station. The view is from an elevated perspective, looking down into the construction site. The materials are arranged in a way that creates a dense, almost maze-like impression.

The image is somewhat faded and lacks sharpness, which is characteristic of older photographs. The contrast is high, which further emphasizes the texture of the wooden structures and the depth of the construction pit.
