Two photographs and a rectangular black banner are pinned to a clothesline above snow-covered sand dunes in this black and white, horizontal photograph. The clothesline spans the width of the composition, and the scene is illuminated by a bright light from the lower right. The photographs on the line and the banner flap in the wind with a dark gray sea and sky looming behind them. The images and banner are secured with clothes pins and spaced across the length of the line. The photograph on the left shows a man wearing a hat and standing at a boat railing looking out at the water. The second photograph is vertically oriented and shows someone playing a tuba, which hides their face, under bunting with stars and stripes. The tuba player is flanked by people on either side who are cropped so only one of their arms is shown. Five empty clothes pins hang between the center photograph and the black banner on the right, where white lowercase lettering reads, “words.” A weathered wooden post stands between us and the clothesline, just to the right of center in the composition. The photograph is inscribed in the lower left margin and reads, “MABOU, NOVA SCOTIA 1977” and is signed by the artist in the lower right margin, “Robert Frank.”
