Print, Photographic

Mounted, sepia-toned photographic print depicting the exterior of Stephen Smith's Boots and Shoes on Woodward Avenue. Two large boot-shaped signs are atop the building. Pairs of shoes are strung along the storefront. A man and a woman stand in a second floor doorway, and four other people peek out of a pair of second floor windows along the building's side as pedestrians stand on the sidewalk below. A wagon hitched to two horses waits on the side street on the left. To the right of Smith's is the "Detroit Bazar" [sic] advertising "Toys and Fancy Goods," including fireworks, nuts, and fruits. Matting is yellowed cardstock.
