A group of five men pose outdoors, one standing on a barrel with metal jugs, another holding a large wicker-covered jug, and others holding tools and a glass; a sign in the background reads "TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED." The staged, humorous scene is typical of early 20th-century real-photo postcards.
