This hand-colored stereograph card features two nearly identical, side-by-side rectangular photographs with rounded corners, mounted on a light-brown, pebble-textured cardboard backing. The image shows a park setting with large, green trees and a makeshift shelter built against a thick tree trunk. The shelter is constructed from several large, reddish-brown wooden planks or slabs leaning against the tree at an angle, creating a small, enclosed triangular space. A person in dark clothing is partially visible inside the opening of the shelter. In the background, a low stone or concrete wall separates the grassy park area from a paved street where a horse-drawn carriage is parked. Small, light-colored text printed at the bottom right of the photographs reads: "No. 1030. Refugees' Snug Camp in the Shades of Columbia Park, San Francisco Fire Swept District." Below the mounted stereograph, a gray and black color calibration scale is visible within the frame.
