Print, Photographic

Print. Black and white photographic print of a window display featuring furniture sold at The J.L. Hudson Company. Two female mannequins are featured, one is dressed in day wear, and apron and appears to be placing linens back on the shelf of a lightly ornamented shelve and drawer unit; varying types of other linens are featured on the shelves. Dressed in business wear, a female mannequin sits in an arm chair, with upholstered cushion, at a desk, and appears to be working. An upholstered wingback chair is across from and adjacent to the mannequins. Signage leaning against the chair reads, "Hudson's and House & Garden say: Live As Well As You Look, Indulge your flair for the dramatic but let your taste pervade your whole scheme of living; Even my laundry list looks glamorous setting like this; Studio of Interior Decoration, 8th Floor Woodward, Section E." Also, smaller signage reads, "Setting designed by Margaret K. Barnes, Studio of Interior Decoration, 8th Floor, Section E; Fashions From the Casual Shop, at the Woodward Shops, Seventh Floor." The date, photographic sequence number, company name, and photographer's name are printed on the bottom of the recto, "10-10-49; 23920-2x; The J.L. Hudson Company; Photography by Davis B. Hillmer."
