Photographic print of Italian fishermen, likely Sicilian, selling their catch fresh off their boats, at T-Wharf in Boston. The sale is made to a woman in finer dress than the surrounding men, suggesting a class difference between the fishmonger and woman. Various men surround the sale and face towards the camera. Taken in the early twentieth century.
