The image shows a black and white photo of the interior of what appears to be an old-fashioned barbershop. In the foreground, there is a traditional barber's chair with a headrest, armrests, and a footrest, which is facing away from the camera. The chair is upholstered in black and looks vintage. Above the chair, suspended from the ceiling, is a simple pendant light fixture. The walls of the shop feature decorative molding, and there is some pattern design as well near the ceiling. In the background, a large, ornate wooden cabinet with a mirror is visible. The cabinet also has some shelving with various items, including what seem to be bottles and other barbershop supplies. On the far left side of the cabinet, there is a mounted electric fan. Also reflected in the mirror is an additional interior space where a person is seated, surrounded by more furniture, suggesting an adjoining room or area. On the wall next to the cabinet, a clock, barber license, and a framed picture or certificate are hung. On the right side, there is also a stand-alone wooden piece of furniture that might serve as additional storage or counter space, a visible glass bottle on top of it, and a small-mounted shelf carrying more items. The floor is not fully visible, but it looks like it may have a simple finish or a mat on it. The overall feeling is one of a bygone era, perhaps maintained in its original state for a considerable amount of time. The image is signed at the bottom right by the photographer, whose signature appears to read "Langston Hughes," but this could require verification as Langston Hughes is more commonly known as a prominent poet and social activist during the Harlem Renaissance and not for photography.
