The image displays a dark, ornate historical marker, likely cast iron, set against a blurry background of green foliage. The marker features an oval-shaped section at the top, bearing the year "1917" and the text "Pza. Constitución." Below this, a large, oval-framed black and white photograph depicts an urban scene from that era. The photograph shows a wide intersection in Plaza Constitución, Montevideo, Uruguay. In the foreground, a multi-lane street with tram tracks runs horizontally and curves to the right. A vintage automobile is partially visible on the left side of the street. Towards the right, a tram or trolley car proceeds along the tracks, followed by a horse-drawn carriage. The midground features a tree-lined plaza with several individuals, some seated on benches, others walking. Visible streetlights illuminate the area. The background is dominated by multi-story classical buildings with detailed facades, including arched windows and balconies, characteristic of early 20th-century architecture. Below the photograph, the marker provides text in Spanish, translating to: "In 1843, the plaza was named 'Constitución.' On its eastern side, the seat of the colonial Cabildo housed the Uruguayan State Parliament until 1925." Underneath this text, a row of dark silhouettes of several people is depicted.
