Print, Photographic

Print. Black and white photographic print of a window display at The J.L. Hudson Company Department Store. A female mannequin, dressed in a plaid dress, and features a hat, handbag and gloves stands adjacent to a neatly stacked semi-circle of bricks, and large tree-branch which features the same fabric draped from the ceiling to branch. A small sign affixed to the bricks reads, "Dress, Butterick Pattern Number 4539." Signage in the central foreground reads, "Crisp New Fabrics Make Sewing More Exciting… Lady Ann Plaid Gingham, 36 inches wide, $1.49, Cotton Fabric Shop, Third Floor, Woodward." The date, photographic sequence number, company name, and photographer's name are printed on the bottom of the recto, "4-17-48; 23553-4x; The J.L. Hudson Company; Photography by Davis B. Hillmer."
