A cricket match in Lobitos in Peru, with oil derricks visible in the background

A black and white landscape photograph of a cricket match in Peru. Around eleven men in whites can be seen, batting and fielding. The wicket is visible towards the left of the image. Two metal-framed towers, probably derricks for oil production, are can be seen beyond the pitch. A ridge or chain of hills, with sky above, is visible in the backfround. Original caption (in white on a black background): 'CRICKET LOBITOS'.
