Description

A boy in a light shirt and trousers stands on the left, and a smiling man in a dark hat stands on the right, holding a long stick and wearing high boot-like shoes. Between them a dark donkey carries bundles and packs on its back, with a bridle on its head. Behind them a wide cultivated field stretches under a pale sky, with a wooden post and stacked material at the left edge.

English, translated from the Swedish record

Two young men stand on either side of a well-packed donkey. The person on the right wears a hat, holds a stick in one hand and wears a pair of high shoes resembling boots. The picture was taken beside a house, in front of a field. In the middle of the picture is the shadow of a third person.

Swedish, as on the record

Två unga män står på varsin sida av en välpackad åsna. Personen till höger bär en hatt, en pinne i handen samt ett par höga skor som liknar stövlar. Bilden är tagen bredvid ett hus, framför ett fält. I mitten av bilden syns en skugga av en tredje person.
