Old photograph

This is a really old photograph. It looks very dirty but this is the best I can do to clean it up from the negative. (Actually, all I did was to put the negative onto the scanner bed. Was to lazy to search for a shop that could print it.)

Anyway, it showed the interior of the Ban Hin Lee Bank building in Beach Street, George Town. It must have been in the late 1930s or early 1940s. I would think that the people in the photograph were the staff of the bank at that time. Leisurely pace of life. From the camera's viewpoint, this was looking towards the building's entrance.
