An albumen print on cabinet card depicting a turpentine still. The still is a two-story wooden structure with a ramp extending from the second floor to a raised platform. The ramp and platform are loaded with wooden barrels. Three men are standing on the second storey of the still, with one at the top of the ramp and a fifth seated on the raised platform. All the men seem engaged in work while the photo is being taken (particularly those in the second storey of the still). The photograph is faded with a yellowish tint and mounted to a piece of board with rounded corners that is green on the front and gray on the back. A small hole is located at the top center of the backing board. The back is printed with text identifying the series and photographer.
