Description
An old man is sitting at a desk in a room hung with cobwebs and littered with globes, which looks like a cellar more than a study. He is leaning over a sheet of paper and looks like he has just read something interesting as another man spies on him, hidden behind the door.
The caption reads in the French version: Manuscrit trouvé dans une bouteille.
Keywords: 1880s, 19th century, black & white, reading, sneaky, watching
