Photograph showing several elderly people sitting at a table playing cards, drinking what looks like coffee, eating cookies and smoking. It looks like they're in a light coloured brick room with carpet flooring and a mirror on the wall. In the background of the photograph there is another table with some more chairs at it and one wheelchair over by the mirror. A couple of the women have purses beside them or off to the other side of the table. All of the people seem to be wearing semi-formal clothing.
