    I'm interested to see how these women wear their shawls - quite short and pinned at the middle back. Styles of wearing shawls were often very distinctive, and specific to locations. Hopefully someone will recognise this market place and reveal where it was.

    Have asked the curator about this, to see if there are any clues (or writing) as to where the photo's image originates. Fingers crossed!

    A "Liberty Loan" would put this in the World War I era. In fact, this photograph would have been taken in late April, or during March 1919. A Liberty Loan was the name given to the U. S. Treasury's means of raising funds from the public via bond issues to pay for war work. The Fifth Liberty Loan, with the slogan "Finish The Job" was launched on 21 April, 1919, with a canvass period of three weeks: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C05E6DA1E39E13AB...
