Men and women work productively under the high wooden raftered ceiling in an open warehouse. The men are wearing jackets, ties, and hats, and the women are equally well dressed with hats and in skirts. Wire baskets of oysters and a wheelbarrow suggest the activity of the space. The wooden floor is clean, and everyone is focused on their specific task in preparing freshly caught oysters for market.
