This is a photograph of four strips of black and white film negatives laid out on a black background. The negatives depict architectural structures with large doors, arches, and columns. Some images show groups of individuals or activity in front of the buildings. The negatives are labeled 'DUPONT SAFETY' along their edges, suggesting the type of film stock used. The layout resembles a contact sheet used by photographers to examine multiple images at once.
