Summary
A monochrome gelatine silver print stereograph of clearing snow in Enstone Road, Chipping Norton. The 2 images are straight edged with no space between them. They are mounted on card which is maroon on recto and dark grey-brown on verso. It has rounded corners. The image depicts 5 men clearing snow from a road, using shovels. They have only cleared a small portion of the road, not surprising given the depth of the snow - the height of a man. A coat is disgarded on the left hand side. Markings: Verso: Handwritten in pencil: "Snow, Feb 25 1916 " and "Enstone Rd Chipping Norton".
Provenance
Donated on 5 September 2012 to the Fox Talbot Museum by Mrs Sylvia Warwick.
