This is a black and white photograph taken at a flea-market. The image shows two boys sitting on the ground among of rows of comic books in cardboard boxes. The boys appear in profile, one at center and one in the row behind him at center left. Another person is partially visible at far right hunched over a box, and the lower half of a man walks along an aisle at top center. Other flea market stalls, people, and cars fill the background along the upper portion of the image.
