Four people with a Sri Lankan bullock cart

A black and white landscape photograph showing four people with a Sri Lankan bullock cart. The wooden cart has two wheels and a thatched covering, with a yoked ox standing in the shafts. One man sits within the cart holding the reins and another stands in front of the ox. Two figures, one of whom is a boy, stand in the background under the eaves of building with a tiled roof. All four people wearing sarong-like garments over their legs. Posters, some whole and some torn or peeling off, can be seen on one wall. Palm trees and other vegetation are visible in the background. Original caption: ‘NATIVE CART CEYLON’.
