A black and white photograph, slightly sepia in colour. The photograph shows a group of men and women some are standing and some are seated in front of them.

The photograph was taken by Edward Horace Man, who worked on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands from 1869 until 1901, during the British colonisation of these islands.
After a working life spent on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Edward Horace Man retired to Brighton in 1901. In 1929 he died and was buried at All Saints Church in Patcham where a headstone bears his name.
