An album page features two sepia-toned photographs. Above, an elephant hangs from thick ropes over a ship deck. To our right, men with medium-dark skin tones observe, while a light-skinned man in a pith helmet stands to our left. Below, wide stone steps lead to a temple entrance flanked by two massive white lion statues. Figures with medium skin tones gather near thatched stalls beneath a tiered spire reaching toward the sky.
