This is a black-and-white negative image of a narrow urban alleyway from an older time period. The photo is labeled "Norfolk Place from Wash St" and dated "Nov. 13, '04," signifying that the photograph was taken on November 13, 1904.

The alley features a cobblestone path running along the center, bordered by raised sidewalks on both sides. A railing runs along the edge of one of the sidewalks, likely for safety or accessibility. The surrounding buildings are tall, with intricate architectural details and storefront advertisements visible. For example, signs along one building display prices, such as "10¢ a string" and "12½¢." The overall perspective draws the eye towards the distant end of the alley, where more buildings can be seen.

The negative image gives the scene an inverted appearance, with dark areas shown as white and lighter areas turned to black, highlighting textures and details in the scene in a unique manner.

This image is a black and white negative photograph of a narrow urban alleyway. The image is inverted, with the normally dark elements appearing light and vice versa. The alley is lined with tall buildings on both sides, and it appears to extend into the distance, converging at a vanishing point due to the perspective of the photograph. The ground is cobblestone or paved with stones, and there is some debris scattered along it.

On the right side of the image, advertisements are visible, including one with the text "10¢ A STRING," which suggests that the building might be a store or shop. Decorative railing is also present along the right side. Toward the bottom left corner of the image, there is text that reads "NORFOLK PLACE FROM WASH. ST" and "NOV. 13, 04," likely indicating the location and date the photograph was taken (November 13, 1904). The high contrast and shadows are emphasized due to the negative format of the image.
