‘People...refuse to believe me when I tell them I saw a man dressed just like that, doing just that, from the top of a bus… It was the umbrella propped against the wall which caught my eye and prompted the picture… The chap was well-dressed and obviously enjoying the smoke and his rest. I couldn’t resist doing him as a subject.’ Lowry has added his own initials on the man’s briefcase.
