The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men posing for a group photo. There are nine men in the photo, all wearing suits and ties, and they are standing in front of a large pile of ropes. The ropes are coiled up and appear to be of different sizes and lengths. The men are smiling and looking at the camera. The background is dark, and there is a brick wall on the right side of the photo. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century.
