The image shows three men standing in front of a large poster or board. The man on the left is in profile, facing right, and appears to have receding hair and a clean-shaven face. He wears a long, light-colored coat with dark pants and shoes. The man in the middle is bent over a table, focusing intently on writing in a notepad or ledger. He has curly, dark hair and wears a dark suit. The third man stands to the right, in profile facing left, with neatly combed back hair. He is dressed in a dark suit. The table in front of them has several bags or pouches placed on it. The background consists of a large sign that reads "CHEMIN DE FER DE PONTOISE À VAUGIRARD 200 MILLIONS CAPITAL SOCIAL." The scene is set in a monochrome style typical of an illustrated print, with text written above and below the image.
