Name/Title
Wallpaper Store Clerk with Multiple IdentificationsDescription
A young man stands behind a counter scale in what appears to be a wallpaper or paint supply shop, surrounded by shelves of boxed goods and rolled wallpaper. His work clothes, flat cap, and the shop fixtures suggest a late 1920s or early 1930s retail interior. Multiple handwritten inscriptions on the back—naming “Ostby L. Amy,” “Rudolf [surname unclear, possibly Bohkland],” and a later “Sam [Bohkland?]”—indicate uncertain or evolving identification.Made/Created
