The image is a composite of three black and white photographs arranged side by side. On the left, we see an Indian family at home; two women sit on a low stool while another woman stands beside them holding what appears to be a small child between her legs. A man sits in front with his arm around one of their heads.

In the middle photograph, there's a Peruvian doctor and nurse standing inside a room filled with shelves stocked with various bottles and containers. The doctor holds up an advertisement for "Paludismo," which translates as malaria or malarioid fever, indicating a focus on health awareness in Peru during that period.

On the right side of the composite image is another photograph featuring rural workers looking at what seems to be a fresco painting depicting Emiliano Zapata, known as one of Mexico's most famous peasant revolutionary leaders. The artwork appears to hang inside an interior space with a draped curtain visible on the far left and part of it on the extreme right.

The overall composition suggests Ed van der Elsken took this photograph around 1960 for his exhibition "Howard Grant Gallery," possibly showcasing different aspects of life in South America during that era. The juxtaposition of these images highlights cultural, social, and health-related topics from various regions across Latin American countries like Peru and Mexico.
