Description: | Undated,
Interior view of number 10 Northcote Street home of W. Carrach, photographer. Possibly dating from the 1880s a Victorian parlour or sitting room. The wallpaper is of a William Morris type pattern, gas light is suspended from the ceiling. The chair has a cover, called an anti-macassar, the fashionable product with which men groomed their hair was called macassar oil. The cover prevented the oil spoiling soft furnishings. The fireplace has a carefully balanced symmetrical display of pictures and ornaments, including a pair of palm leaf fans, which were very popular. A fringe of ornate material covers the mantel shelf. The fireplace is marble, with a painted fire screen covering the empty grate. In the foreground are several photo albums on a table. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Northcote Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
