The black and white photograph depicts a line of people waiting outside what appears to be an official government building, possibly during the time period indicated by their attire. Among them are two prominent individuals in suits with hats; one is smoking a pipe while conversing with another man who wears glasses and holds his hat in hand. They seem engaged in discussion or contemplation as they stand near a door that has notices posted on it—one reads 'NOTICE' regarding the Western Defense Command of the Fourth Army, including mentions of exclusion orders.

In addition to these two individuals, there are several other people present with varied expressions and attire typical for mid-20th-century America. The photograph captures an atmosphere of anticipation or concern among the gathered group as they await their turn at this office building entrance.
