The image is a black and white photograph of a street scene in a small town. The photograph is taken from the side of a building, which appears to be a coal-fired restaurant or cafe. The building is a two-story structure with a sloping roof and a chimney on the left side. There are several windows on the front of the building, and a sign that reads "Coalwood" above the entrance. On the right side of the image, there is a group of people standing outside the restaurant, some of them are sitting on bicycles and some are standing on the sidewalk. There is also a man on a bicycle and a woman on a horse-drawn carriage. The street is lined with trees and there are a few other buildings in the background. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is somber.
