Downward view towards 7 men gathered around a hole with one man digging, beside a wooden cart filled with earth. The horse hitch, with rope attached, rests on the ground in front of the cart.
This photograph was most probably taken in 1895, when William Sachtleben was in Turkey to investigate the disappearance of cyclist Frank Lenz who had last been seen near Erzurum. Notes accompanying negatives indicate that during this trip, Sachtleben was in Bursa and travelled from Trabzon to Erzurum. Sachtleben's 1891 photographs of his bicycle tour across Asia have a circular format.
