This image appears to be a black-and-white photographic negative depicting a protest or demonstration involving a large group of individuals. The protesters are holding signs and banners, with the most prominent banner reading:

"Mural Project #262 Artists Union Demonstrates Against Roosevelt’s Fifty Dollar a Month Starvation Program and For Union Recognition."

The banner indicates dissatisfaction with a government program associated with President Roosevelt, presumably during the Great Depression era. Other visible signs include references to union recognition, artists' rights, and slogans such as "Art Unit," suggesting the participants are advocating for better working conditions and wages for artists.

The setting appears to be in an urban area, with tall buildings visible in the background. The demonstrators, mostly dressed in formal attire, are marching down a street, standing in protest together.

The image is a negative photograph showing a group of people participating in a protest or demonstration. They are marching down a street lined with buildings. The focal point of the image is a large banner being held by two individuals at the front of the group. The banner reads: "MURAL PROJECT #262 ARTISTS UNION DEMONSTRATES AGAINST ROOSEVELT'S FIFTY DOLLAR A MONTH STARVATION PROGRAM AND FOR UNION RECOGNITION." Other participants in the march can be seen holding smaller signs or placards, one of which appears to say "EVERY ARTIST ORGANIZE" and "STOP." The demonstrators are dressed in what appears to be 1930s attire, which includes hats and suits, consistent with the style of a formal protest from that era. The presence of the phrase "Roosevelt's fifty dollar a month starvation program" suggests it was taken during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The atmosphere suggests a sense of activism and advocacy for labor rights and union recognition.
