Description

An open-backed lorry stands on a dirt track beside a large tree, with a man in its bed leaning over a wooden crate and planks stacked behind the cab. Three people stand on the track and under the branches, one in a dark jacket and cap, and a wheelbarrow and a dark vehicle are parked nearby. Hills with scattered trees rise in the background.

Description, scan 2: A lorry with a wooden-sided rear body stands on a dirt road beside large trees, with wooden chests stacked in the back. Four men are at work around it: one lifts or stacks a chest on the truck bed, while others stand on the road and by a wheelbarrow and a dark vehicle in the shade. Dry, scrubby hillside rises behind.
