Print, coloured and mounted. Titled "Clare Market/ A Clearance in Clare Market". A street market scene the main elements of which are; a central bonneted woman with full shopping basket, who has just passed a hand-cart, at left of picture, from which a man is selling marrows; two elderly matrons behind the barrow with a porter carrying boxes on his head behind them; at right of picture a man smoking a pipe leans with his right arm on a cannon-type bollard; behind him a woman sitting on the pavement is selling something from baskets and a bucket. At bottom left of the picture are the initials "W.D.A.S." and at bottom right the engravers name "P. Naumann Sc." The print is taken from a large format periodical, probably the Illustrated London News, for whom Naumann worked. A second picture, above, entitled "Some Doomed House" has been cut and hidden by the mount.
