The image is a black and white photograph of a group of people standing in a flooded street. The street appears to be in a city, as there are buildings on either side of the street with shops and businesses visible in the background. The people are dressed in formal attire, with some wearing hats and others wearing suits. In the center of the image, there is a man in a suit and tie, who is standing in the water with his arms outstretched. He is holding a cane and is surrounded by a crowd of people, some of whom are looking at him attentively. A dog can be seen in the bottom right corner of the photograph. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
