Notes Photographer's manuscript note on verso: Court off Ellsworth St, No side E of 10 St. This court - or rather the buildings in it - are comparatively new, consequently it is comparatively sanatary [sic]. All the children in this picture live in the 5 houses comprising this court. It is from this and the Southwark districts that the glovemen of the squared circle principally eminate [sic]. Note two prospective champions in foreground.
Gift of Margaret Odewalt Sweeney.
