Print, Photographic

Print. Black and white photographic print of a window display featuring men's semi-formal wear available at The J.L. Hudson Company Department Store. Two male mannequins are adorned in tuxedos, the right mannequin holds a paper in his hand, while the other is seated on an upholstered bench, and appears to be smoking a cigarette. An end table neighbors the bench and is adorned with a coffee pot and illuminated lamp. A bird cage is affixed to the rear of the display. Signage in the central foreground reads, "Bride's Week… February 7 through 12; The groom at the Semi-Formal Wedding after 6 p.m. The tuxedo… proper for the wedding and important occasions after, Men's Store, Second Floor." Neighboring signage reads, "Carolyn Chase Bridal Service, Groom's Consultant, 2nd Floor, Woodward, Section E." The date, photographic sequence number, company name, and photographer's name are printed on the bottom of the recto, "2-10-55; 26030-15x; The J.L. Hudson Company; Photography by Davis B. Hillmer."
