Daguerreotype of scene in Calcutta, India. Ten thin people in the image are possibly farm workers? It appears to be a rural scene with warehouse or similar building in the background with a flat roof. The building is made of stone, it has a inner balcony with an awning made of plant based material possibly palm leaves. There is a round window to the side and three water spouts coming off the roof. There is a palm leaf roofed structure to the left with the rear of a cow beside it. Round baskets or stones are to the right of the three standing men. Four children crouch in the foreground, one is a girl with a head covering and sari. The men all wear cloths Five men stand to the left and right of the children and one man sits on a stool in the building. A piece of cloth hangs off a pole behind the three standing men.There is a low brick wall and pit to the left with piles of straw. Another palm leafed structure is visible to the right of the central building with trees in the distance
