A carte de visite (CDV) portrays another street vendor, also referred to as a "Carmen," carrying an oversized wooden crate on his back. The vendor is slightly bent over due to the sheer weight of the crate, which appears to be filled with goods, judging by its size and the effort required to transport it. The crate is marked with various inscriptions, including "A.M. 12" and what seems to be "Ogden.”

The vendor is dressed in simple, rugged clothing suited for labor-intensive work. He wears a vest over a shirt with rolled-up sleeves, which emphasizes the practical nature of his attire. His head is covered with a piece of cloth, likely to protect him from the sun or dust, a common practice among laborers of the time.

The man’s posture reflects the heavy burden he bears, with the crate pressing down on his back. His expression, although partially obscured by his headgear, seems to convey determination as he balances the large load.
