Notes: This drawing of the Butetown area of Cardiff shows the National and Provincial Bank, looking up Bute Street to the former Taff Vale Railway station. The cars are drawn primitively, and the people are over-scaled to emphasise the charm of this commercial quarter before radical change began in the area in the 1980s.
