The image depicts a vintage black-and-white scene featuring a horse-drawn carriage carrying two individuals dressed in period attire, with one person wearing a top hat and the other in a bowler hat. The carriage is part of a parade or procession, as indicated by multiple American flags displayed in the background. Behind the carriage, a large sign can be seen, which reads “NO COAL YARD” and includes the name “JOHN SHIRMER.” The road appears unpaved, with trees lining the sides, contributing to the rustic and historical ambiance of the setting. The sun casts shadows, suggesting a clear day, and the carriage’s wheels are prominently visible in the foreground.
