Description

This nicely framed portrait of Manchester's 'Odfellows' Town Hall with its heavy mansard roof and asymmetrical front also captures the fountain in front and a glimpse of the inner harbor behind. This is the first of five cards written by "R.E.R." to Mrs. George Kalif. Each card in the series is linked to the next (see below).
