3/10 detail
I'm assuming this is the proprietor of said establishment. Fully decked out in clothing that to my modern eyes looks like a caricature of a 19th century business owner: top hat, frock coat, bow tie, watch chain, handkerchief.
I'd like to think he came to work dressed like this every day, but I suspect he put on his finest duds for the photo.

@jeremyosborn@mastodon.art His office would need a special storage just for that hat.
