Guy West stands in a street lined with buildings that are destroyed and smoking. Other men walk on the street around him. At the left, there is a building that is burnt and behind that, smoke billows up into the sky. At the right, there are bricks scattered around and further on there are buildings that are still partially standing. West wears a flat hat and bowtie, and has his hands on his hips.
Guy West was H. H. West's brother.
