Here's a description of the image, based on the provided information:

The image appears to be an inverted black and white photograph of a street scene taken on August 26, 1919. The location is identified as Boylston Street, specifically the buildings numbered 334-350.

The image shows several multi-story buildings lining the street. The architecture varies from building to building. Several shops are visible at street level. Some of the businesses are identifiable:

  • A store labeled "A.E. Covelle & Co." selling "Gowns." It also has the number "344" displayed, possibly indicating the street address.
  • A shop selling "Antique Oil Paintings," described as "Mahogany and Rosewood" and doing "Restorations."

Vehicles are visible on the street. The image is slightly distorted with an inverted color. The writing at the bottom of the image seems to be the source of the image, noting the location and date.
