The image depicts a sepia-toned photograph of a group of men in military uniforms standing on a sidewalk. The men are standing on a sidewalk made of square paving stones, with a building to their left and an open area with trees and street lamps in the background. There are seven men in military uniforms, wearing dark-colored jackets with buttons down the front, white belts, and dark-colored pants. Most of the men are wearing hats, and some have swords or canes. One man in the center of the image has his hand on his hip. To the right of the military men, there are two men in civilian clothing, one wearing a bowler hat. In the background, there is a large building with a tower or spire, and several street lamps. The overall atmosphere suggests a scene from the late 19th or early 20th century. The title of the image is "Recruiting Sergeants at Westminster" and the artist is John Thomson.
