An elderly man trying to make a living selling candles on the streets of the lower east side in Manhattan. Seymour made it a point to capture every bit of reality and grit these people dealt with on a daily basis, as can be seen here by the old wooden box the vendor is sitting on. If you wanted to have burning candles at your Sabbath dinner, then you needed to visit the candle vendor.
