The image is a black and white photograph of a large group of children posing for a group photo in front of a building. The children are of different ages and ethnicities, and they are all dressed in formal attire. The group is arranged in a semi-circle, with some standing and some sitting on the steps of the building. There are a total of 12 children in the photo, all of them are smiling and looking at the camera. Some of them have their arms crossed, while others are standing with their hands on their hips. The building behind them has a large window and a door, and there is a plaque on the wall. The photograph appears to be from the early 20th century.
