Image of seven people dressed in dark colors. A large Union Jack representing the United Kingdom is present on the right-hand side behind two women, another flag is present on the left. It features the Union Jack in its canton, though the rest of the flag is not visible enough to identify it (possibly the red ensign). Neither flag has the red diagonal of St. Patrick's Cross properly countercharged. The people are identified by numeric notations written in graphite around the image. The numbers correspond to graphite inscription on verso: "1 Fred J. Lawrence 2 Fred Moffet 3 [blank] 4 Ed Jones sunk on a monitor 5 [blank] 6 [blank] 7 [blank]" Ink inscription on verso: "No. 16 John Kingsbury, Albany, NY."
