Title
Milk boys in Candle Close, Leith
Description
Two boys walk up a narrow cobbled street between tenement buildings and old houses in Edinburgh. One of them is pushing a wheelbarrow and the other who wears short trousers carries a flat wicker basket. The picture is framed by a stone archway and above the boys hangs a decorative street light. Further up the street hangs a sign advertising a saw maker's premises.
