About this Item
Albumen photograph on photographers board showing several well dressed gentlement in front of a Western storefront. Photograph measures 8" x 6" on an 8" x 10" mount. Circa 1890. In this photograph, 5 men and one young boy stand outside Browns' Department Store and Shepard and Maupin's grocery store in an Old West town, along what appears to be the main avenue. The grocery store advertises "fancy groceries", which could be referring to goods such as the bananas that are visible through one of the front windows. Bananas were not readily available or even known about in the U.S. until the late 1880s, which suggests that this photo was taken between the 1880s and the turn of the century. Off to the side, we can see a shopkeep painting the wood paneling outside his business. An interesting photo showing a shopping area in a frontier town. Some minor chipping along right edge and 1/4 inch paper loss at top left corner. Some blurring at top left and bottom left corners. In very condition overall. Seller Inventory # 18693
