The image features a collection of two mounted black-and-white photographs on gray paper. These photographs depict scenes from the stockyards in Chicago. The mounts have handwritten notes that indicate the location and subject matter.

1. Left photograph: A wide-angle view of industrial buildings with multiple chimneys emitting smoke. In the foreground, there is an empty field or possibly a stockyard area, with the smoky skyline dominating the background. The handwritten text on the mount reads, "University of Chicago Settlement, Chicago Ill."

2. Right photograph: A closer view of the stockyards. An urban street can be seen on the right side, lined with utility poles and fencing. Industrial buildings and more smoke-emitting chimneys are visible farther back in the scene. Handwritten text beneath this photograph says "stock yards," suggesting that both images are from the same area.

The overall tone is industrial and urban, capturing the atmosphere of Chicago's stockyards and their impact on the landscape during this time period.

The image is a photograph of a mounting board containing two smaller black and white photographs, each depicting industrial scenes. The larger photo on the left shows wide fields or open land with a backdrop of factory buildings emitting smoke from their chimneys. The photograph is mounted on a gray board, and handwriting above the photo reads "University of Chicago Settlement, Chicago, Ill." The top right corner of this board has folded triangular corners, possibly for holding the photograph.

To the right, there is a smaller photo that also shows an industrial area with factories emitting smoke. This photograph captures a view along a railway or road with utility poles lining the side, and the factories in the distance blanketed by smoke. It is mounted on a smaller piece of the same gray board, with handwritten labels "stock yards" below the photograph, and similar handwriting as the first, indicating "University of Chicago Settlement, Chicago, Ill." The top right corner of this smaller board is folded into another triangle, possibly to form a pocket or corner to secure the photo.

Both photographs appear to be historical, reflecting early industrial Chicago, particularly focusing on the stockyard district, which was known for its meatpacking plants during the early 20th century.
