Here is a description of the image:

This is a hand-colored stereoscopic image, seemingly a comedic theatrical scene, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. The image is presented in two side-by-side views, typical for stereoscope cards, which when viewed through a stereoscope, would give a 3D effect. The card has a beige background, with the image areas colored in a somewhat vibrant but artificial style.

The scene is set indoors, likely in a staged environment meant to resemble a barber's shop or some sort of medical or theatrical operation. Two individuals in the background appear to be attendants or medical staff. One, standing, wears a waiter uniform and green neckwear, seemingly gesturing with his hands. The other, positioned near a large tub, is dressed in a pink corset, working on a man whose head rests in the tub. The man in the tub has his head tilted back and is colored with a green beard.

A man in brown lies recumbent on a wicker chair with his legs stretched out. In a similar pose but lying on the floor is another man in black, with a vivid red necktie. Beside them, on the floor, lies a black cane and a top hat with a scarf protruding from it. A barber's shelf in the background has various jars and objects on it.

The image is overlaid with hand-painted colors in an idiosyncratic style, with sections of the image highlighted in pink, green, and yellow. In the bottom-left corner, "No. 2" is printed, and there is a handwritten inscription that reads "Booth Drawing 'out at last'." The scene appears to be a humorous or satirical depiction of a medical or barbering operation, with the actors playing exaggerated or comical roles.

The image is titled "Booth Drawing out at last". This refers to John Wilkes Booth, the man who assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Booth was hunted down after the assassination.
