c1892 Mounted Photo of Store Front, Lady’s Laces, Fabrics & Clothes

Description

This is a mounted photo of the store fronts of a lace store and a fabric store. In the windows are displays of various laces and dresses. Near the doorways are a display of laces and fabrics. All the salesmen are standing outside. There is a sign in the window above the lace store but I can’t make out what it says (see scan). The photo dates to right around 1890-95. No photographer or location identified (the back is blank). Overall size: 10” x 8”. The image itself measures 5 ½” x 4”. Two of the mount corners are chipped and there is a bit of age toning on the mount. The image is in good condition with no significant mars. Good contrast. No bends.
