Porter on Piotrowska Street
Title
Porter on Piotrowska Street
Description
Close to No. 27 Piotrowska Street, a porter weighed down with a load of textile wares (various bolts of cloth) walks along the gutter in the photographer's direction. A young bicyclist cruises just a few feet behind him. Piotrowska Street effervesces with movement. Passersby cast an eye over the photographer, their curiosity piqued. In the distance one can make out Freedom Square (Plac Wolności) with its imposing monument to Tadeusz Kościuszko.
