"Schmiede v. Elim Ochsenwagen, von den Eingeborenen selbst hergestellt." ("The forge of Elim ox cart made by the natives."). Three men are standing around an ox cart. One man is standing on it. Two men are standing some distance to the right of the cart. One of them is holding a horse with his right hand and a stick in the other hand. The other man is standing next to the horse. Trees and a house in the background. The translation of the German word "Schmiede" remains ambiguous in this context. It can either mean "forge" or "blacksmiths". Therefore the title can refer to the building or the men in the picture.
