Print. Black and white photographic print of a window display featuring reproduction 18th Century home furnishings sold at The J.L. Hudson Company Department Store. A leather and rivet wingback chair is featured neighboring an occasional table let with a silver tea service; also adjacent to the table is a heavily ornamented corner chair; a buffet is visible behind the corner chair, and a whatnot is visible behind the wingback chair. A fireplace, with mantle features candle sticks, and affixed above the mantle is the portrait of a woman held in a heavily gilded frame. The two windows are covered in heavy drapes. Signage in the left-central foreground reads, "Whatever your preference, you'll find the fashions you like best at Hudson's, XVIII Century English, plucked from an era of rich splendor… from a scene graced by powder wigs and silken gowns- 18TH CENTURY FURNISHINGS are just as at-home in today's settings! Traditional grandeur lives today… See it now at Hudson's, Fine Furniture Galleries, 8th Floor, Woodward, Section E." The date, photographic sequence number, company name, and photographer's name are printed on the bottom of the recto, "5-12-52; 25368-5x; The J.L. Hudson Company; Photography by Davis B. Hillmer."
