The image is a black and white photograph of a large building that appears to be in ruins. The building is a two-story structure with a balcony on the second floor and a balcony railing on the third floor. The balcony is covered in debris and debris, and there are palm trees in the background. The ground is littered with rubble and debris. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is one of destruction and devastation. The photograph is captioned "Nachdem den Engländern nicht gestattet wurde, mit drei Dampfbeibooten in das Inner des Hafens einzufahren, wurde am 28. November 1914 Dässeldorf durch britische Kriegsgeschichte beschlossen. Das Bild zeigt das zerschlossene Gouverneurgebauen" which translates to "The destruction of the building in the early 20th century."
