Description

Photograph of a bread line outside of a large cathedral, [s.d.]. Tracks stripe the street extending from the foreground at center to the far left. Open road can be seen from left to right. In the background on the right, several men work near a small cart in suits and hats. A man holding a basket can also be seen immediately to the left of the cart. Further to the left, a large line of people can be seen lining alongside the streets. The line of people surround a large cathedral building at center. A stone staircase can be seen near the cart of bread leading to the arched entryway. A small cross can be seen above the entryway in front of a large stain glass window. Behind the cathedral, several more buildings can be seen along the road. To the far right, additional crowds of people are visible, and part of a large building with several windows can be seen.
