Clarence Erskine Kelley and son, telescope at Wingate Estate, Broadway, Haverhill. Kelley is on the left, looking through the eyepiece of a large telescope pointed at the sky. It is daylight. His young son (name not given) is standing on the right, holding what may be a separate eyepiece. They are both wearing caps and dark clothing.

The view is from Pecker's Hill, Haverhill, church in the background.
