A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts five young and middle-aged light-skinned men and one medium-dark skinned man standing around an outdoor booth. Two of the light-skinned men wear full suits, ties, and felt hats and seem to ask the medium-dark skinned man about how to play the game at the booth. A building and other outdoor booths are visible behind the group.
