This is a photograph of a city street scene featuring a trolley bus. The image captures a moment at a city street where a trolley bus is in focus, displaying the sign "61-Gare d'Austerlitz." The center of the photograph shows the front part of the trolley bus, including some figures inside and around it, engaged in what appears to be a routine of boarding the public transport. The backdrop features a row of bare trees lining the sidewalk, giving a sense of colder weather or early spring. A stone wall or building further outlines the background, adding depth to the urban setting. The photograph is in black and white.
