A boy in winter clothing, including a knit cap and mittens, stands on a large snow drift. He holds a snow shovel. Additional men and boys, some with shovels, are on the paved sidewalk. Men have mustaches. A three-dimensional sign in the shape of a mortar and pestle is on the right. Utility poles and brick commercial buildings line the street, which is blocked by snow. Signs read: "Waterbury / One Price C[lothing]" "I.N. Russell / Dentist" "At a Great / Reduction / Executors Sale of Entire Stock / Examine / Goods and Prices" M. O' Conn[or?] / 1852" "Geo. E. Robinson, Archite[ct]" "Connecticut / Electric Co. / Electric Bells / Electric Alarms / Electric Lighting." Letterpress text beneath image: "Adt & Brother, Photographers - 48 and 63 Bank St., Waterbury, Conn. / After the Great Blizzard / Monday and Tuesday, March 12 and 13, 1888, at Waterbury, Conn."
