This is a sepia-toned photograph of a battlefield covered with people in dark uniforms lying on the ground in various positions, all appearing lifeless. The ground is covered in straw or dry grass, with a few scattered trees and a slightly blurred horizon in the background. Below the photograph are two lines of text.
