Postcard with a photo of the Chicago Staff Band in 1914. The bandsmen are arranged in four rows, seated and standing, and appear to be outdoors. A brick wall or building can be seen behind them. Each musician is wearing their band uniforms and a campaign style hat and most are holding a brass instrument. The band's bass drum is standing in the center of the first row and has The Salvation Army crest and the band name printed on the drumhead. A small drum is standing next to it. A man in the back row is standing next to a flag.
The back of the postcard has an inscription, written in blue ink, which reads "Chicago Staff Band / Commissioner Norman Marshall Sr 2nd row 3rd from right". The photography studio name and address is stamped on the left side.
