The image depicts a black and white photograph of an old, single-story building with the sign "First Aid Nursery" displayed prominently above its entrance. The structure appears to be simple in design, made up primarily of horizontal wooden planks as siding.

In front of this small, rural-looking building stands two people: one woman wearing a long coat is holding a child dressed in light-colored clothing and a hat with brim facing backward. They are standing on the sand or dirt ground that surrounds the nursery. The second person's face is partially visible through an open window to the right side of the structure.

There seems to be another individual, possibly male, looking out from behind the wooden door frame but not clearly distinguishable due to their partial visibility and distance from the camera angle. The overall atmosphere suggests a modest setting with limited resources or infrastructure for child care services in this rural area.

The photograph's monochromatic tone adds to its historical context, suggesting it may have been taken during an earlier time period when color photography was not as prevalent.
