Notes

This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "The two men in naval uniforms at the centre of this group may be members of a seaside concert party performing a sketch, but it seems odd that they should be doing so from a row of deck-chairs. At any rate, they seem to be having a 'romantic' exchange of some sort, with clasped hands and lingering looks (James Gardiner) The deckchairs are marked with the initials "W H" ".
