This image appears to be a black-and-white negative photograph, which inverts the original colors and tones of the scene. It depicts a street with tram or rail tracks running along a curved path. Overhead, there is a network of electrical poles and wires, likely for the operation of electric streetcars or trams.

On the right side of the image, there are two figures, likely pedestrians, standing near the tracks. They appear dressed in early 20th-century attire, including hats and long coats, suggesting the time period around the 1910s.

The background features tree-lined sidewalks and a row of buildings, along with a prominent structure that may be a tower or part of a larger building. The handwritten caption at the bottom reads, "Looking N. on Columbia Road from Uphams Corner," dated "Mar. 5, '13," which indicates the location and date: March 5, 1913.

The negative's dark sky and bright tones create an otherworldly appearance, emphasizing elements like the tracks, power lines, and figures.
