This image appears to be a photographic negative. It depicts a vintage scene featuring a car parked near a small booth or building, likely part of a ferry dock or transportation site. The booth has signage on it stating instructions about stopping automobile motors while a boat is docking. Some text reads, “AUTOMOBILES STOP MOTORS UNTIL BOAT IS FAST TO DOCK.” The surroundings include a railing and a view of open water or landscape in the background. The vehicle is an older car model, indicating the image might date to the mid-20th century or earlier. The negative effect inverses the light and dark tones of the photograph.

The image appears to be a photographic negative, showing a scene with a vintage automobile and a small structure or booth. The automobile is positioned on the left side of the image, facing away from the viewer, with its side and partial rear section visible. The car looks like it might be from the early to mid-20th century, based on its design, with large round fenders and wheels.

On the right side of the image, there is a small building or booth with a sign on it. Although the text on the sign is reversed due to the negative effect, you can decipher that it instructs automobiles to "STOP MOTORS UNTIL BOAT IS FAST TO DOCK," indicating a ferry dock or terminal environment. The booth appears to serve as a control or ticket station, typical in such settings.

In the background, there is a railing and some indistinct objects, possibly landscape features or the body of water. The overall composition suggests it is an outdoor location, likely near a waterway.

This is a black-and-white negative image. The scene appears to be a waterfront or dock area from the early to mid-20th century, judging by the style of the car and the aesthetic.
