As lesle points out about ladders. Surely Shorpy is leading up to something!

There's been a recent spate here of photographs with a ladder in them. And in this photograph there are at least two ladders. Just sayin'.

So here's the newsie still in short pants working for a living and coming around the corner come Lil Lord Fauntleroy and his mama, he won't have to work till he graduates from Harvard.

The black iron gate on the right remains to this day.

Listing them in no particular order: The man walking in from the left looks like someone to move out of the way for. The newsboy with no shoes on that very dirty looking street. The half torn down building in the back. The lady showing a lot of leg near the coffee wagon. The FOR RENT sign with an almost funny reference to "Better Call Saul". There's so much more!

capturing three walkers, whose trajectory vectors were pulling in opposite directions, and stationary woman figure are what make this photograph fascinating and almost all about them. Surround is "hardly noticeable".

That’s what it says on the building directly behind the boy crossing the street, but that boy isn’t wearing any shoes.
