## Dataset Summary

### Languages

## Dataset Structure
### Data Instances
```
{
'image': <PIL.JpegImagePlugin.JpegImageFile image mode=RGB size=1244x128 at 0x1A800E8E190,
'text': 'donsella filla de Onofre Esquer morraler de Bara y'
}
```
### Data Fields
- `image`: a PIL.Image.Image object containing the image. Note that when accessing the image column (using dataset[0]["image"]), the image file is automatically decoded. Decoding of a large number of image files might take a significant amount of time. Thus it is important to first query the sample index before the "image" column, i.e. dataset[0]["image"] should always be preferred over dataset["image"][0].
- `text`: the label transcription of the image.
