Description

A woman on the left and several men sit close together under a rock overhang, one man smiling and another in work clothes looking toward the camera. Two donkeys with packs stand in the bright haze at right, and another man is partly hidden in the background. In the lower left foreground, a rounded object that may be a shoe rests on dry, stony ground.

English, translated from the original record

Cypriote mining: copper mines, people, donkeys and shoes. The man in the middle is Erik Sjoqvist.
