Description

A lorry with a flatbed of wooden crates stands on a dirt road in front of a whitewashed building with shuttered windows and a barred window. A man sits at the wheel, and six other men in caps and jackets stand or sit around the front of the vehicle, one perched on the bumper. The crates are marked, but their contents cannot be seen.

A lorry with an open wooden-slatted body loaded with crates stands on a dusty street in front of a whitewashed building. Eight people are grouped around the vehicle: a man sits at the wheel, another stands behind the cab, and several men and a boy stand or sit along the front, some in caps and long coats. Shuttered windows, a barred window and an arched doorway with a decorative panel are visible behind them.
