The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men standing in front of a wooden structure. The structure appears to be a barn or a shed, with a sloping roof and a chimney on top. There are several men standing on the roof of the structure, some of them are holding shovels, while others are standing on top of it. The men are dressed in suits and hats, and some are wearing hats. There is a dog in the foreground, and a pile of hay on the left side of the image. The ground is covered in grass, and there are trees in the background. The photograph appears to have been taken in a rural area, as there are no other buildings or structures visible in the frame.
