This is a negative image of a street scene, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. The visible elements include buildings with ornate architectural designs, a stretch of railway tracks in the foreground, and several people standing or working. The signage reads, "Make Cooking Easy - Don't try to keep house without Glenwood Range," which suggests a promotional advertisement. The caption at the bottom mentions "Sunday Sep. 12, '97" (possibly referring to 1897) and describes the vantage point as "from near School St." The overall visual gives an inverted, high-contrast feel due to its negative format, where light areas appear dark and dark areas appear bright.
