The image is a black and white photograph of an old, dilapidated building with multiple fire escape stairs. The building appears to be in a state of disrepair, with peeling paint and crumbling walls. The stairs are made of metal and are attached to the side of the building with railings. There are several windows on the building, and a few people can be seen walking up and down the stairs. On the right side, there is another building visible in the background. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the stairs and the building.
