The image is a black and white photograph depicting the exterior wall of an urban building. Mounted on this brick surface, towards its upper right corner, there's a rectangular sign with a wooden frame. The sign displays text in block letters reading: "Civilization needs a religion as a matter of life and death." Below the main message, two smaller lines attribute it to G. B. Shaw. On top left of the building is another window which seems closed or covered by material. In front of this wall stands what appears like an old-fashioned street lamp on a sidewalk with visible wear marks on its surface, suggesting age. The image has a textured quality indicative of aged film photography and includes handwritten notations at bottom: "Kit 10302-5."
