Description

An Australian officer stands to the attention of a fashionably dressed young lady who is peering through some eyeglasses held on a stick. Both hold on to a large umbrella which is ready to spring into action at the sight of rain. A faint pencil outline of a castle turret in the distance gives the viewer an indication of the context of their sight seeing.
