Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.
When I first became aware of this phenomenon the exhibition was closed, but a well-informed boy sought the proprietor in a public house and I was granted a private view on payment of a shilling.
The shop was empty and grey with dust. Some old tins and a few shrivelled potatoes occupied a shelf and some vague vegetable refuse the window.
The light in the place was dim, being obscured by the painted placard outside.
The far end of the shop - where I expect the late proprietor sat at a desk - was cut Off by a curtain or rather by a red tablecloth suspended from a cord by a few rings.
The room was cold and dank, for it was the month of November.
The year, I might say, was 1884.
