Using Google Images, we have found the image is a part of this book:
Looking in EXIF data we got:
58-7-9 210-13-2 67-3-16 85-17-15 305-18-4 83-12-18 75-8-15 47-4-2 83-20-11 208-6-6 85-11-6 75-7-3 106-9-14
The code used here is a variant of the Book Cipher:
58-7-9 = 58th page, 7th line, 9th word.
With multiples tries we got:
