Description
A black-and-white photograph shows a man standing in a doorway beneath a sign that reads "CIVIL CONTROL STATION" in bold, capital letters. The man is centered in the frame, wearing a dark military uniform; he appears to be looking directly at the camera with his left hand behind his back and his right holding the end of a rifle which rests its butt on the ground next to his feet. The doorway is part of a light-colored building with a few steps and a dark handrail leading up to the entrance. Above the main sign, a smaller placard displays the number "2345." The photograph is presented as a physical print with visible white borders, set against a dark background, and includes a color calibration strip and a metric ruler placed along the bottom edge for archival reference.
