This is a photograph of a street scene. The image shows a storefront with an awning displaying "THE MOHICAN MARKET" sign. A vintage automobile is parked in the foreground on the right side. People are walking on the sidewalk, some entering or exiting the market or passing by. The photograph is in black and white, and the building architecture suggests an older urban setting. The presence of a large sign further down the block indicates a typical commercial district.
