Toasty Nuts: 1905
1905. "A chestnut vender -- Baltimore, Md." 5x7 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Vendor's origin
Going by his appearance and attire I'd assume this chap migrated from the Mediterranean area. Italian? Greek?
Plan B
If he runs short on chestnuts, he can warm his hands underneath those prodigious mutton chops.
"May Contain Nuts"
I've been waiting years for this to actually happen.
Minstrel show
The upper left banner may be from the show 'Evalyne' by Paul Dresser.

The (re)building activity in the background is presumably repairing the damage from the Fire the year before.
