An indigenous craft with local traders on board offering their wares on the River Amazon.

A slightly distant starboard side view of a small local craft being paddled on the River Amazon. The photographer is on a cruise on the Swedish passenger cruise ship Kungsholm (1928) and is looking at the small boat which is being paddled by three men and holds locally produced souvenirs, including two models of river steamers. The men are probably hopeful of selling some of their wares to the passengers on board the Kungsholm (1928). The precise location in the Amazon is unknown.
