Long Island is a densely populated continental island in southeastern New York state, extending into the Atlantic Ocean. It constitutes a significant share of the New York metropolitan area in both population and land area. The island extends from New York Harbor 118 miles (190 km) eastward into the ocean with a maximum north–south width of 23 miles (37 km). With a land area of 1,401 square miles (3,630 km2), it is the largest island in the contiguous United States and the 11th largest island in the U.S.

The image is a black-and-white photograph of a group of men standing on the steps of a building. The group appears to be a jury, as indicated by the text at the top of the image, which reads "CARMAN JURY." The men are dressed in formal attire typical of the early 20th century, including suits, ties, and some wearing bow ties or suspenders. Most of the men are holding hats in their hands, which they may have removed for the photograph. The building behind them has a classical architectural style, with columns and a sign that reads "C. AIR" visible on the left side. The men are arranged in a slightly staggered formation, with some standing in the front and others behind, creating a sense of depth. The image has a vintage quality, suggesting it is from an earlier time period. The photograph is labeled with a number "3268-12" in the top right corner, which might indicate its cataloging or archival reference.
