Black and white photograph of a group of men gathered around a laboratory table. All are dressed in bonnets and ruffled dresses and some hold toy instruments. The photo's caption reads "Damenkapelle für Kindersymphonie," or, "Ladies Band for Children's Symphony," which suggests they are dressed as a womens' troupe for a performance of the composition Kindersymphonie by Leopold Mozart (1719-1787). This piece, also known as the Toy Symphony, is a musical work dating from the 1760s with parts for toy instruments, including toy trumpet, ratchet, bird calls, triangle, drum, and Glockenspiel.

The margins of the photograph include handwritten annotations by Georg Bredig (1868-1944) naming some of those pictured, including "Jaffe," Harry Wheeler Morse (1873-1936), "Brauer," Robert Thomas Diedrich Luther (1868-), Max Bodenstein (1871-1942), "Drucker," and "Ernst. "
