A coffee seller, 1930 - 1950
Scope and Contents
160 x 210 mm. The caption continues: 'No matter what time of day or night it is the rattling sound of the coffee seller's hand announce that he is constantly on the lookout for a prospective customer. The deep brass pot of conical shape is kept constantly heated by a small charcoal fire which burns beneath. The coffee is served without sugar or milk and whilst a customer drinks his cup of coffee he is informed of the news of the day by the vendor who stands by.'
