An elderly dockyard tallyman knots a damp hemp hawser around a stack of rough-hewn pine planks beside a foggy slipway. Taken with a hidden detective camera on a glass plate negative, the snapshot shows the stark, gritty contrast of turn-of-the-century social realism. Burnt-in darkroom edges, deep soot-black shadows, a hairline emulsion scratch, and a faint smudge mark the aged monochrome print.
