Overhead, there is a horizontal pole and awnings or roofs extending over the street. People are walking on the street, some in uniform with helmets. In the background, the street extends into the distance, with more buildings and people visible. The photograph is titled "Commercial Street, Canton" and attributed to Lai Fong.
