23.5 x 34.3 (Image/sheet) (centimeters, height x width)
Description:
Candid shot of about a half dozen white businessmen from just before the corner of a long curved wooden bar. The men are all in suits and ties, with short slicked-down hair, most look over 40. They've paired off in conversation at the bar and have glasses in front of them. Visible in the right foreground is the service side of the bar, almost entirely taken up with a long light-colored freezer with 3 long access hatches; paint is chipping off it from every edge.
Notes:
Verso has rough title and identifiers.
