Comment...........................:

Delightful & evocative study of ladies in front of a stoep whilst an man and a woman stand at the side doorway.

Photo is slightly fading.

Location not known; almost certainly East Cape area of South Africa. The architecture is very typical of late 19thC / early 20thC small town sparcity, structure & embellishment.
