A group of men gathered before a barrack-style building with a canvas awning drawn back over its entrance, the scene identified by the printed mount caption as wounded soldiers at a barracks hospital in Berlin. Several men in military caps and civilian coats stand or lean casually while two seated figures at a small table wear slings and bandaging, one with an arm supported and the other with a bandaged head and neck; additional men, some in dark uniforms and one in a light coat resembling medical attire, occupy the doorway behind them.
The printed captions on the mount identify the publisher as S. P. Ohrmann, active in Berlin and Paris, and describe the image as part of a series titled Französisches Militär und andere Kriegsbilder (French Military and Other War Pictures), placing the scene within the context of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.
