Summary

[General description] The footpath of Rundle Street is crowded with smartly dressed shoppers. It is probably the pre-Christmas rush as a sign displayed outside one of the stores advertises 'Xmas & New Year gifts'. Businesses from right to left include Marshalls and Donaldson and Andrews & Company's drapers, both businesses being forerunners of the modern department store. Stevenson's Jewellers with the clock, J. G Rowell's tailors, Peter Smith & Company and E.S Wigg are clearly seen. [On back of photograph] 'Acres 45 & 46 / Rundle Street, north side / about 1896 / On the left is King William Street. Near side of Donaldson's is 77 yards east of King William Street.'
