A senior officer from the Cunard Line passenger cruise ship Franconia (1923) presenting a box of food, possibly biscuits, to a young local woman at Kalabahi, Timor. The officer has three wavy bars on his shoulder straps and is wearing an all-white uniform and a topi. The young woman is bare-chested and the presentation is being watched by other members of the ship's crew and by some of the passengers. Foodstuffs, including Hovis bread and tins of Fraser salmon, are stacked on the table behind the officer.
