Christmas shopping
From engravings and etchings and industrial Bolton
Engraving by Françoise Taylor, early 1950s
Actual size: 250mm high x 350mm wide
(paper yellowing slightly)
Probably based on Whitakers department store in Bolton. 'Christmas' is wrongly spelled. Françoise was still learning English at the time. No-one in the picture seems to be actually shopping. It has the same detachment between people and the goods as 'Toy shop' (Brussels, 1944).
