  of

  in 
  this 
  second-hand

  a 
  replica 
  of

  The 
  women 
  and 
  children 
  crouch 
  in 
  the 
  market-place 
  with 
  their 
  personal 
  property 
  spread 
  

   before 
  them, 
  while 
  the 
  curious 
  stroll 
  along 
  in 
  front. 
  The 
  aged 
  woman 
  in 
  the 
  foreground 
  has 
  

   a 
  potted 
  plant 
  and 
  a 
  winter 
  hat 
  with 
  which 
  she 
  must 
  part.
