The image is a black and white photograph of a large group of people, all dressed in formal attire. The group is arranged in a semi-circle, with some standing and some sitting on a bench. The people are all wearing hats and gowns, and some are wearing suits and ties. They are all smiling and appear to be posing for a group photo.

In the background, there is a brick building with arched windows and a tree on the left side. The building appears to be a church or a similar structure. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
