Notes
This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "He wears a Panama hat and holds a stick. The word 'single', like the word 'bachelor', both ostensibly meaning unmarried, was often a pre-1960s code word for gay. The term 'established bachelor' was, to the end of the twentieth century, frequently a euphemism for someone known or suspected of being homosexual".
One card in a series of cards in which people on a beach are described as kinds of pebble: The sunburnt pebble, The single pebble, etc.
