Please could someone reverse this photo.It was a slide I borrowed and somehow I got it back to front so all wording is unrecognisable
Thank you

Trouble is - you still can't read the writing and the men's waistcoats are buttoned the wrong way! :-\
Are you sure sure it was the wrong way before China turned it?? :-\
Just tried it - the writing is not back to front - it is upside down in original - so it really should be the original way. ;D ;D

Wonderful photograph ... cleaned, sharpened, made pole vertical and left it the original way round.
On a steep hill as chocks under rear wheels.
Well seen WiggyHobbes :-))

Thank you so much you observant people. I was worried that I had scanned it the wrong way. I never would have thought of waistcoat buttons --of all things.
Wonderful work everyone.
Thank you.

Not being well educated in traction engines I googled Fowler and now know that it is a type of traction engine.
This photo was taken in NZ, probably Dunedin..

Neither are Fowlers, both are Burrell single crank compound traction engines, built by Charles Burrell of Thetford

That would explain the big cordyline then. I am not so convinced by the trees in the background.
