The image is a black and white photograph of a group of people posing for a group photo in a rural area. There are nine people in the photo, six men and three women, all of whom appear to be of African descent. They are standing and sitting on the ground, with some of them holding sticks or poles. In the background, there is a body of water and trees. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century, as there are no other people or buildings visible in the frame. The people are dressed in traditional clothing, with the men wearing hats and the women wearing long dresses. There is also a dog lying on the grass in front of the group. The overall mood of the photo is somber and contemplative.
