On the left side a cocky man in a white shirt presumably James points a six shooter at the men across the room while a blonde woman in a red dress stands with one foot on a chair and the other on a desk also pointing guns at the men. Anomalously in the center of the image through a window a Black man in a red shirt also points two guns at the men on the right while inside the room a Black woman kneels and pleads with the man in the window.

The shows were continued by Swain's son Kennedy well into the 1940s. Several tears at edges two of them significantly affecting the image. Some chipping and loss along top left and lower right edges also a bit in top right corner. Still a striking image. Good plus. unknown books
