The image shows a street-level view of a sidewalk alongside a road. A "CHICAGO" sign is on the left pole. Utility poles line the sidewalk, creating depth. Vintage cars are driving away on the road. Buildings obscure the horizon, and on the right, there is a large fence with painted letters, likely advertising a business that ends with "MFG. CO." Behind the fence is a building with "CHAS. F. L'HOMMEDIEU & SONS." The sky is overcast, giving a gray tone. The image is monochromatic. It depicts an urban, industrial landscape with linear perspective emphasized by the sidewalk, road, and fence.
