Title
Car advertising Eastern Crafts parked outside the shop on Canongate, 1961
Description
Two cars are parked outside an arcaded walkway in a redeveloped area of the Canongate in Edinburgh. The car on the left is painted to give the impression that someone is sitting in the back and on the door is a picture of the Taj Mahal with the words 'Eastern Crafts'. On the car's roof there is a minature house, possibly a birdhouse. A young boy walks through the middle archway and there are flags hanging from flagpoles above each of the pillars.
