Scene showing a settlement and Indian troops on parade at Bassidore (Basaidu) Station on the western extremity of Qeshm (Kishm) Island. The mud and reed-built two-storey building behind the troops is surrounded by a fence. To the left of the image in the middle-ground hessian or jute sacks are piled in a large heap. A number of figures, aside from the troops on parade are visible seated on the ground near the sacks as well as on the terrace of the building. In the background a paddle steamer is visible at anchor in the bay beyond.
