This black and white photograph depicts three young boys standing in front of a backdrop that appears to be the exterior wall of a building. The boy on the left is wearing a tweed suit with a flat cap, button-up shirt, waistcoat (vest), long-sleeved dress pants, and knee-high boots; his hands are in his pockets as he stands at attention. The middle child wears a slightly more formal outfit consisting of a double-breasted jacket with wide lapels, high-waisted trousers, and polished shoes. He is also wearing a flat cap similar to the first boy's attire but without the waistcoat or dress pants that accompany it in his ensemble. On the right stands another boy who has opted for what seems like an intermediate level of formality compared to those on either side; he wears a single-breasted jacket, trousers and a bow tie. This child is also wearing a flat cap. All three children have button-up shirts underneath their jackets or coats and are facing directly towards the camera with neutral expressions. The photograph has visible signs of wear such as creases in some areas and discoloration from age. In terms of contextual information, this image appears to be part of Kibbe's Candy Factory collection located in Springfield, Massachusetts, referencing Joseph Giordano, Freddie Reed, and Willard Leavenworth among the youngest workers there.

The image shows a sepia-toned photograph of a young boy who appears to be around 14 years old. He is wearing what looks like early 20th-century clothing, including a dark coat with buttons and a bow tie under his shirt collar. The background features an out-of-focus signboard or plaque that reads "Kibbe's" in capital letters, suggesting the name of a business establishment, possibly where he works as mentioned in Kibbe’s Candy Factory reference. There are chains hanging from above, which might be part of interior decor at this location. Additional context provided indicates Francis Clancey lives on Walter Street in Brightwood and left school recently to work for Kibbe's factory located in Springfield, Massachusetts. He earns $3.50 per week based on the information captioned with the image from a photo collection by Lewis Hine or possibly another author named Loener as indicated by the URL provided. The overall atmosphere of this photograph exudes a sense of historical context and provides an insight into working conditions for young boys during that era, reflecting child labor practices prevalent at the time.
