Description
"Beim Beladen von Kraftwagen" ("Loading trucks"). Photograph of a truck being loaded by four persons with baggage.
Separate note reading: "Im Mai 1952 mit dem Gepäck von Frau Hornbostel auf dem Weg nach Aira. Nach dem wir bei Sire die feste Strasse hinter uns gelassen und nach 2 km ein kleines Zwischenstück fester Strasse wieder erreicht hatten, war die Ladung so verschoben, dass wir ganz umpacken mussten. Die dicken Bohlen hatten wir mitgenommen, um ohne Gefah[r] die Birbirbrücke passieren zu können. Rechts ein Strassenbauhaus noch aus italienischer Zeit" ("In May 1952 with the baggage of Mrs. Hornbostel on the way to Ayra. After we had left the paved road near Sire behind us and after 2 km had reached again a small piece of paved road, the load was so deranged that we had to repack completely. The thick blanks we had taken with us in order to be able to pass the Birbir bridge safely. To the right a road construction house from Italian times").
Photograph taken during the transport of baggage of the Hornbostel family to Ayra.
