Monochrome photograph of various doctors in training at the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine, which may have been known as Trinity College at that time; shows classmates for Dr. James Third; printed on a thick light brown card with painted gold edges; there are twelve men, most of which are likely doctors in training, examining human cadavers; to the right of the image there are five men studying a cadaver that has the top of his head removed; to the left of the image there are three other men studying another cadaver with one man sawing into the leg; there are four other men in the center, with one man holding onto a leg of a cadaver and another holding an open book; the men are dressed in dark suits and white shorts and dark ties, most of whom are also wearing hats; they are also wearing material over their body, like an apron, to protect themselves against blood and fluid splatter such as both light and dark coloured fabric and a rubberized fabric; the cadavers are placed on tables; seven of the men are standing and five are sitting; the room is rather bleak, the windows in the background are covered with haphazard curtains of cloth, and the ground is covered in a deep sand or sawdust like substance; at the right side of the photograph, written vertically, is the name of the photographer and an address; the border around the image is dark magneta and the back of the photograph is blank and a light brown colour.
