Two men, probably Turkish, with a laden camel in Greece
A sepia landscape photograph depicting two men, probably Turkish, standing either side of a camel. Both men are looking towards the camera. The man on the right of the image has a moustache and is holding the camel’s reins. He has on a long, dark overcoat, loose-fitting trousers cropped at the calf, leather shoes and a turban of white and dark material. The man to the left of the image is wearing a dark coloured suit with leather shoes. He has a moustache and goatee. A bag is hanging from his waist to his left. The camel is standing side-on so its right flank is visible. It has at least six logs tied to its back with rope and is looking off to the right of the photograph. A dog is visible between the camel’s legs with its head obscured by the camel’s front legs. All the subjects, men and animals, are standing on a stony road in the foreground of the photograph. Immediately behind them is a bare field and in the background a house can be seen in the upper left of the photograph. Original caption (handwritten in pencil beneath): ‘The last Camel’.
