A black and white landscape photograph showing fish for sale at a Sri Lankan market. Several women are seated on the ground in a row to the right of the image. Round and conical baskets are set out in front of them, mostly containing fish. Behind the women, to the far right of the image, is an open-sided structure featuring columns holding up a tiled roof. The colulmns are painted in two different colours and a figure can be seen standing between two of them. On the left side of the image are several people looking at produce or at the camera. This includes two men, both wearing sarong-garments over their legs, long shirts and fez-like headgear. Another woman and a child can be seen further away from the camera, standing over the baskets. The spreading branches of a tree are visible in the background. Original caption (beneath the photograph, typed): 'A TYPICAL MARKET SCENE, TRINCOMOLI [sic].'
