Description

An unidentified Japanese shop assistant stands behind the counter of a meat shop. The large signs advertise 'AUSTRALIAN FROZEN MEATS' and 'HOME STYLE COOKED MEATS'. More posters inside the display cabinets give the prices for selected meats, such as, 'COOKED RABBITS 2/6 EACH', and 'CORNED SILVERSIDE 2/2 LB'.
