Boys are the subject of this snapshot taken at Carthage, the ancient Phoenician city on the coast near modern Tunis. Carthage fought Rome in the Punic Wars and was destroyed in 146 BCE, and by the late 1920s its scattered ruins drew visitors interested in classical antiquity. The record's date and place come from an unverified caption card, and the album is titled as a collection of European snapshots, so the exact site and the identity of the boys remain uncertain. Even so, the picture offers a glimpse of everyday travel in French-ruled Tunisia between the wars.
