From left to right, Anthony Fokker and Harris M. Hanshue stand at center and shake each other's hand. They both appear to pose as they look towards the right. To the right of them, a man stands in partial view along the right edge. Behind and to the left of them, a group of 3 women stand, including Violet Fokker. She stands in partial view, blocked by her husband, and faces towards the left. The side of an airplane is viewed close-up as it stretches behind the group and across the background.
