What the image shows

Black-and-white photograph of several workmen digging on a raised, earthen embankment under a pale, overcast sky, with bare trees at the left edge and a utility wire running across the upper part of the frame. Several men in work clothes and caps swing picks and shovels at the mounded soil and rocky clumps, while others stand or crouch around the slope and in the foreground. The image is a documentary street-level photograph, and the lower right corner carries the watermark 'Archives de la Ville de Montréal'.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
