A black and white photograph depicting a group of people standing in a garden. On the left, a man and a woman wearing hats stand with two boys, one also in a hat, and all are looking towards the camera. On the right, two women and a man stand with their hands clasped in front, also facing the camera. In the foreground, a maypole with ribbons and a doll lying on the ground can be seen, suggesting a festive or celebratory event. The image has a vintage feel, with the clothing styles and garden setting evoking a mid-20th-century ambiance.
