About MeNegative taken from Union Street (opposite junction with St Catherine's Way), looking north east at the Town House. The street and buildings are decorated with bunting and decorations for the royal visit. Left of centre is the Free Press building, adjacent to the Esslemont and Macintosh building (now demolished) with a dome on the corner. The picture appears to be taken from an elevated position, possibly a window from the south side of the street.

The street is laid with tram lines and there are several horse drawn vehicles present.
