The image is a black and white photograph of a group of people sitting on a wooden cart. The cart appears to be old and weathered, with peeling paint and rust visible on the sides. There are three people in the cart, two men and one woman, all wearing traditional clothing and headscarves. The man on the left is sitting on the back of the cart with his head resting on a pillow, while the woman on the right is standing next to him with her back to the camera. They are all looking at something in the distance.

The cart is parked on a dirt road, with a building in the background. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber. The text on the image reads "Das charakterstische Bild franzischen Flühlinge, die nur mit der nügen Bekleidung ausgerüstet, ihr Hab und Gut zurücklassen, fühlen münchen, um der Kampfzeug und dem Artilleriefeuer ihrer eigenen Landsleutte Herauskommen (Aufnahme 1914)".
