The image is a black and white photograph of a busy street scene in front of a department store. The store is located on the corner of a street with a large entrance and a sign that reads "Departure Centre". There are several people gathered around the entrance of the store, some of them are pushing carts with various items on them. Some of the people are wearing hats and coats, while others are carrying bags. There is a man pushing a cart with a basket on top of it. The street is lined with shops on both sides, and there is a sidewalk on the left side of the image. The image appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the store.
