A surreal collage photograph of a man and woman on a beach, taken by Photographic Advertising Limited, c. 1950. The woman pushes a wheelbarrow under palm trees made from cotton reels and ribbon. The man strides towards the camera in a suit and hat. Since it was produced, the transparency has gradually taken on a magenta cast as the dyes have deteriorated.
