- The photograph is in a book with a typed description in French and English. The French description: "Point extrême de la carte, à l'Est. On voit, dans la pointe, la ville de Kérac, perchée sur une montagne à pic. Les parties sombres représentent les montagnes, dont le coloris, que la photographie ne peut reproduire, est très heureusement représenté. Un torrent, figuré par une ligne blanche bordée de vert, descend de Kérac jusqu'à la mer Morte. A droite, la ville de Ségor est désignée par les deux noms bibliques de Balac et Zoora." There is an English translation: "Extreme point of the map to the East. We, here see the town of Kerac perched on a steep hill. The dark part show [sic] the mountains whose colouring, which the photograph cannot reproduce, is very happily suggested. A torrent, shown by a white line bondered [sic] with green, descends from the Kerac to the Dead sea [sic]. To the right, the town of Segor is designated by the two biblical names Bela and Zoar." The initials "B+P SC" are printed at the bottom left corner of the photograph.
