Description

A glass plate negative of a peddler, sitting on a barrel, watched by two boys in caps. The peddler's stand is positioned in front of a brick wall, and consists of several barrels. On top of some of the barrels are woven and chip baskets filled with doughnuts and buns. A sign is posted that states "1 c each". The peddler is wearing a collared suit with short jacket, wide cuffed pants, high laced shoes, and a peddler's cap with bill. The children are wearing boys suits with one boy in knee pants, the other with wide lapels, a lapel pin, and long pants. Both boys are wearing school caps and laced shoes. The scene is taken from a low angle.
