[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A sign that perhaps raises more questions than it answers. The term "barbing studio" seems to be considered more sophisticated than "barber shop". A Muslim man who makes his pilgrimage to Mecca earns the right to use the title "Alhadji". It is somewhat unclear whether "petit" refers to the studio itself, to the Alhadji, or perhaps to some other entity. I blame myself for having failed to inquire :)

This is reposted because the original was damaged in uploading, and there was no other way I could replace it. So this version is identical to the original, if it had uploaded intact.
