The image is a black and white photograph of a group of children and adults posing for a group photo on the steps of a building. The group is arranged in a semi-circle, with some standing and some sitting on the stairs. The children are of different ages and ethnicities, and they are all dressed in formal attire. Some of them are wearing suits and ties, while others are wearing collared shirts and trousers. The adults are dressed in suits and hats, and some are wearing hats and scarves. The building in the background appears to be a school or college, as there are windows and a door visible. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
