Three numbers appear on recto in white ink, only one of which can be determined, namely "1328". The other numbers have been scratched over, or are partly obscurred by damage to the orginal glass negative. The same numbers in the same locations are on the gelatin silver print of this image in the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives. The number "1328" in white is also visible on recto in the same location as that of the print in the collection of the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden.
A postcard of this image is in the Nelson collection and is titled "Enfants cherchant de l'eau a Teheran" on recto.
