Inscription on verso: "Calcutta - From the balcony of the Officer's Club. A snake charmer entertains. One got away, crawled under the truck - you should have seen the audience scatter. Then he saw us, gathered up his snakes and ran off up the street as though scared to death."Creation Datecirca 1940sSubjectWorld War, 1939-1945Snake charmersSnakesAnimalsPlaceKolkata (India)IndiaOriginal Formatphotographic printsBibliographic CitationThe William Orthman World War II Collection/The Museum of FlightRightsCopyright undetermined
