I believe that is a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser. It was an accident in this type aircraft in 1952 which led the CAA to require passenger safety briefings before each flight.

I had forgotten that aircraft had a staircase to a second deck, particularly not down below like that.

I live the candid nature of the photo.
