[Snake charming performance on street corner] (Item)

Photograph of a snake charming performance on a street corner in Kolkata, India, circa 1940s.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."
