The image is a black and white photograph of a group of people gathered around a large artillery cannon on a dirt road. The cannon is being loaded onto a horse-drawn carriage, which appears to be a type of artillery. The carriage is made of wood and metal, and there are several people standing around it, some of them are looking at the cannon. The road is muddy and there is a field in the background. 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.
