The image is a black and white photograph of a man standing next to a large cannon. The man is wearing a suit and a hat, and is holding a rifle in his right hand. He is standing in front of a pile of bricks and mortar, which appears to be old and weathered. The cannon is leaning against a brick wall, and there is a large wheel on the ground next to it. The sky is overcast and the ground is covered in rubble and debris. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 20th century.
