Two men are standing near pool tables in this interior view of Agard & La Barge, a billard parlor and cigar store. A glass display case filled with open cigar boxes has been positioned near the front of the store. A spitoon is visible on the floor near the display case. Across from the cigar display is a shoe shine station with a wooden chair on aclothe-covered, elevated platform. A privacy curtain partially covers the partition which separates the pool tables in the rear of the space from the cigar display and shoe shine area. Two men can be seen playing pool on tables behind the partition. The number “262” 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.
