Description

A man stoops under a large wooden crate on his shoulder beside an open-backed lorry already loaded with more crates bearing stencilled lettering. Several men stand at the left and right, and a whitewashed building with a decorative window grille and wooden shutters lines the dusty street behind them. A second, older truck is parked further along on the right.
