The image is a monochrome print depicting an urban street scene from the early 20th century, likely London. The title "Bruno's Garret: By Bernard Wall" suggests it may be related to literary work or art by that author. In this sketch-like illustration, various figures are shown engaging in daily activities on a street corner with buildings lining either side.

There is an array of people depicted walking and standing; some appear to be children playing while others converse amongst themselves. The architecture has features typical for the period such as high windows, decorative details, and fire escapes attached to one building's exterior wall. A dog sits in the foreground near a group of figures on what seems like a pavement or cobbled street.

The scene is rendered with dark ink lines that create texture and depth, giving it an etching quality. The background shows more buildings extending into a cloudy sky above them. Overall, this image captures a slice-of-life moment from urban life in the early 1900s.

The image is a vintage black and white photograph. It depicts a city street scene with several individuals, some of whom appear to be carrying items such as handbags or suitcases. There are also two horses visible in the background. The style of the illustration suggests it could be an etching or lithograph due to the fine lines and shading used to create the image. There is a text on the image that reads "BRUNO'S GARRET BY BERNHARD WALL" which likely refers to the subject or title of the artwork. The overall impression is one of a bustling urban setting, possibly from an earlier era of photography given its monochromatic nature and the style of clothing worn by the individuals depicted in the image.
