A vertical black-and-white photograph depicts a group of children at a fair. Three medium-skinned boys face away from the camera to watch the ferris wheel and car ride visible in the right hand portion of the image. A pair of younger medium-skinned boys lean against a fence, and one gazes at the camera.
