Type of title	translation
Original caption	On the way to its destination: native dhows loeaded with salt about to sail.
Description	Annotation translation: Annotation damaged and not completely legible: "[...] for the millions of Asia [...?salt] is indispensible for the human body, especially since [...] started to use vegetables for nutrition. That is why [...] since prehistoric days it has been considered as precious and even as a religious symbol, and secured eith[er] from the sea or from mines. This is also why in India [and] neighbouring countries with an essentially vegetable [...] its production is one of the most important industries. Our pictures show this procedure in the vast flat [...] the coast outside Bombay where the burning sun quickly evaporates the liquid content of sea water, leaving its salty residue. This is done in salt pans whose contents, after a few relatively simple procedures of sifting and storing the precious mineral, are distributed all over the sub-continent and many neighbouring islands."; Annotation: Nur teilweise entzifferbar da beschädigt: "[...] for the millions of Asia.
