Atomic bomb damage in Hiroshima

A black and white landscape photograph showing people moving around bomb-damaged Hiroshima. Tram or railway lines are visible in the immediate foreground, with wires suspended above via telegraph poles, two of which are leaning at an angle. A cyclist, several pedestrians and a motorcar can be seen moving along the side of these lines. Behind is an expanse of rubble, with some buildings still standing. Wooded hills can be seen in the background. Original caption (handwritten in ink, beneath): 'HIROSHIMA'.
