Itinerant photographers

Three men are visible in this office. Holding a narrow document, one of the photographers is standing at a counter, and appears ready to purchase a ticket. Another man stands opposite him, on the other side of the counter. In the rear of the space, the third man appears to be placing items, probably railroad schedules, in a large rack. A day calendar, open to “11” hangs in the center of the rack. The number “39” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” has been written in the upper left corner.
