Object:Shopkeeper trying to hook a customer
Description:A man in front of a fashion shop in an alley in Mahmutpaşa çarşısı leans towards a passing woman, touching her arm in an inviting gesture. The middle-aged woman, dressed in a çarşaf like her companion on the right, withdraws defensively. Several people in the lane have turned to watch the scene. Inside the shop, another man is standing behind one of the two glass counters at the entrance and looks out solemnly, hands folded.
Comment:The photograph accompanied an article in Cumhuriyet with the title, ‘Preparations for bayram in the city’.
