Coffin?.....Fairground?..........Now that IS a comparison picture if ever I saw one. Blooming brilliant of you to spot this one.

Great picture. An old showman (or woman) obviously passed away in their bed, in their living wagon and the undertakers have come to fetch the body. Wish we had more clues as to the where and when?
