Description: The stall in the foreground belongs to Solari's, who by the sound of the name were probably Italian, as most icecream manufacturers-sellers were. The people leaning up against the railings of Queen Victoria's statue are eating ice cream from a 'poke' (which supplied the common name for ice cream - 'Hokey-Pokey', and led to the rhyme which grandmother's were fond of reciting:- 'Hokey-Pokey penny a lump, the more you eat the more you trump!').The picture also shows shops on Beastmarket Hill in the background.
