Description

A dark, boxy car with a rounded radiator and headlamps drives toward the camera along a wide road of flat, cracked stone slabs. Behind it an arched stone bridge crosses a river with low banks, and bare hills rise in the distant background. The print has white marks and specks in the sky and on the road surface.

Description, scan 2
A dark Volvo touring car with round headlamps and spoked wheels drives along a pale, deeply cracked stretch of road in the foreground. Behind it, an old stone arched bridge crosses a river, with a second arch to the left and water visible below. Low flat land and distant hills fill the background, and two very small figures stand on the far bank.
