On the right of the photograph is a tree, under which several people are sitting. To the right of this is a two-wheeled cart. Various telegraph poles can be seen running around the area. In the background is another larger building, with ‘STABROEK STORE’ on its wall. Original caption (below, in ink): ‘The market Demerara, British Guinana [sic]’.
