A male patient is seated in a reclining dental chair near a window. The dentist and a female assistant are standing on either side of the patient. A dental drill, on the end of a cable and pulley, hangs from the ceiling. A retractable electric light also hangs from the ceiling next to the drill. Behind the patient, and next to the assistant, is a tray with instruments on it and also a small round porcelain sink with water faucets into which the patient could spit. Various glass bottles and a metal electric fan are on a desk behind the dentist. Across the room is another desk, book shelves and a larger sink. The number “59” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” is written in the upper left corner.
