The image is a black and white contact sheet composed of small photographs of various urban scenes. The scenes include vehicles, outdoor gatherings, people in public spaces, and some partially obscured or blurred images. Film sprocket holes and details about the film type ("Kodak Safety Film" and "Plus-X Film") are visible on the edges. The contact sheet suggests it was meant for selecting shots within a broader collection of urban imagery.
