DescriptionView of the backs of four men at a train station in France. The man on the left wears a uniform with tall boots and a helmet that has a very long plume. He pushes a bicycle. Two men stand and appear to talk to him, while the fourth man, possibly a porter, pushes a cart. There is a fifth man in the background, standing on the tracks. A sign hanging from the roof of an awning reads, "DIRECTION/ DE CASTRES".
