Description

Railway wagons stand along the quay at Famagusta, loaded with stacked wooden crates, metal barrels and timber, with pipes laid out on the ground at left. About seven men stand or walk on the quay, and a horse and cart stand by a shed. Boats lie in the harbour at left, and a high stone wall runs across the background.

Description, scan 2
Looking down onto a harbour quay where long rows of wooden crates and stacked barrels line the ground beside a railway track. Flatbed wagons loaded with planks and timber stand on the right, and a horse and cart waits by sheds in the background. Seven men stand or walk on the quay, some in caps and dark coats, and a small boat rests on the left.
