Glasgow shops

Bone, Muirhead, Sir, 1876-1953 · 1899

A row of shops containing three bow-windows, over which are such inscriptions as (Wi)ndow Cleaner & Glazier... Earthenware, A. Black... Boot & Shoe Repairing. The middle shop is placarded with newspaper bills, Daily Record-Disaster at Sea, Daily Mail-Liberal Victory, &c. The time being Saturday afternoon, the street is enlivened by the presence of small children. Several of the figures retouched. The little girl close to the left edge of the plate has her head more defined, and a firmer outline is given to her frock, over her foot. Of the four children to left of the Daily Mail poster, the clothes of the first and the head of the fourth have been retouched. The man standing in the doorway beneath the words "Boot & Shoe" has been darkened all over. Some slight vertical shading beneath the letters " w Cle " is new in this state.
