- Notes: A handsome and well-composed image in which a group of men are artfully arranged in front of Bond & Mollyneaux''s shop. The graphic quality of the signage, particularly the panel reading "bakery," indicates that the photographer created the picture to document the services the business offered, although the laborers in the foreground add a colorful dimension to the scene. At right, the ghost-like figure of a young child clings to a gentleman in the doorway, and a laborer at the far right appears to be unaware of the camera as he lifts a heavy sack.
- Condition: All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries'' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues.
