The photo is a black and white image of an old-style roadside marker sign. The signage reads "A-51 Virginia Inventors," followed by several lines providing historical information about notable inventors from the area, including Cyrus H. McCormick for his perfection in 1843 with the grain reaper; J.A.E. Gibb's invention and development of a chainstitch sewing machine in 1856. The sign appears weathered but readable against an overcast sky. It stands on a metal post amidst tall, unkempt grasses beside what seems to be an old rural road lined with trees, utility poles, and buildings that appear aged or possibly abandoned; one of the structures is visibly dilapidated and empty-looking, suggesting historical significance as well. The photo has been taken from a low angle looking up towards the sign post against a clear sky.
