Hungary, 1941. A rather ordinary, yet remarkable photo of villagers somewhere in Hungary, or possibly in Transylvania, Romania. The photo is from an album of photos that was found in a rubbish dump. These photos, taken by Károly Mikolay, have been digitised by Fortepan and added to their ever-growing collection that now has well over 200,000 photos.

A black and white photo featuring a group of Hungarian villagers. Five are seated on a wooden bench with a whitewashed wall behind them. One is a woman in a large skirt, headscarf, and is barefooted.  The other four are men dressed in village clothes, including boots and hats. Another man is standing off to the side, leaning against the wall, with a lighted cigarette in his hand.  All six people are looking directly at the camera. In the background is what seems to be a courtyard of the house behind the wall.
