This is a black-and-white photograph featuring three individuals. Two of them are in the foreground, while the third is slightly blurred and positioned in the background, partially out of focus. The two in the foreground appear to be dressed in formal attire from the early 20th century. 

The person on the left is wearing a military-style uniform with a cap, indicating a naval or military affiliation. The uniform is adorned with stripes on the sleeve, which could signify rank. This individual is holding a large trophy or cup with both hands, suggesting it may be a prize or award of some sort.

The person on the right is dressed in a long-sleeved, formal dress with a high collar and a wide-brimmed hat decorated with feathers, which was a common style for women's fashion during the late Victorian or Edwardian era. The dress has a lace or decorative pattern on the front.

The third individual in the background is wearing a suit and appears to be observing the two in the foreground. The setting seems to be outdoors, possibly on a balcony or terrace, as there is a railing visible in the background.

The photograph has a caption handwritten at the top, which reads: "CAPT. A.H. ROSTHON & MRS. J.J. BROWN." This suggests that the individuals in the photograph are named Captain A.H. Rosthon and Mrs. J.J. Brown. The image appears to have historical significance, possibly documenting an event or occasion involving these individuals.
