Notes
Photographer's manuscript note on verso : 21st St. bet[ween] Pine and Lombard Sts. W.S. [west side] Russian Jewish children. Note: little boy leaning against door jamb a really beautiful child and a verry [sic] friendly youngster. His name is Louis. John has an appel [sic] and wants to laugh. The tall girl is passive while her little sister does not want to be 'tooken'. The style of brick window seen here is fast disappearing. Its [sic] quaint panes of glass and the peculiar shutters in which it was literally wraped [sic] after closnig [sic] hours is but seldom found anymore. These shutters (on either side of window) are in 8 sections - 4 on each side and each 4 are fastened together by hinges. When the store is open, as in the case of this picture, the shutters are folded back and swing into a recess in the brick work of the wall.
