The image is a black-and-white photograph of a man standing in front of a concrete structure, holding a long wooden plank with the word "DETOUR" written on it.

The man is wearing a dark shirt, light pants, and a hat. He is standing on a dirt surface, facing the camera, and holding the plank horizontally in front of him. The plank is positioned at an angle, with the word "DETOUR" written in white letters on its side.

In the background, there is a large concrete structure with a metal framework on the left side. On the right side, there is a road or path leading to a building or shed. The overall atmosphere of the image suggests that the man is directing traffic or pedestrians around a construction site or roadwork area.

The image appears to be a historical photograph, possibly taken in the mid-20th century, given the clothing and equipment used by the man. The image has a grainy texture and a slight blur, which may be due to the age of the photograph or the quality of the original film.

Overall, the image provides a glimpse into a moment in time when construction or roadwork was underway, and a worker was needed to direct traffic or pedestrians around the area.

Here is a description of the image:

The black and white photograph depicts a scene of what appears to be road construction. In the foreground, a man in work clothes is leaning against a small wooden easel or support. He is wearing a cap, a button-down shirt, and pants. He has one hand on his hip and is looking towards the right.

To the right of the man, there is a "DETOUR" sign. The asphalt road appears freshly paved. Behind the road and the sign, a bridge or overpass structure is visible. Beyond the bridge, a road stretches into the distance, leading towards what seems to be a small building and some power lines on the horizon.

On the left side of the image, there is a large, angular, metallic framework, possibly part of a construction. The lighting in the photo suggests that the scene may be taking place at dusk or in a shady area. The image has a slightly surreal or dreamlike quality, possibly due to the use of a darkroom technique, and the composition is very linear with the horizontal and vertical lines dominating the frame.

The image is a black-and-white photograph showing a construction worker near a large concrete structure, possibly a bridge or an overpass. The worker is dressed in typical work attire, including a hard hat, and is handling a long tool or piece of equipment.

In the foreground, there is a "DETOUR" sign, indicating a change in the usual route, likely due to the construction work. The ground appears to be paved, and there is scaffolding or support structures visible to the left, suggesting ongoing construction or maintenance work. The background shows more construction elements and possibly a hillside or embankment.

The overall scene suggests a construction site with active work being carried out, necessitating a detour for traffic or pedestrians. The photograph is credited to the President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University Art Museums).
