notes: label: Description
content: Unmounted silver print by Berenice Abbott, "Jacob Heymann's Butcher Shop Window." Storefront is covered with signs advertising different kinds of meat including turkey, geese, lamb and duck. Sample prices range from 20 cents/lb for "fancy geese" to 22 cents/lb for a leg of lamb. Even the door in right of photograph has writing on it, as well as a sign, so that there is very little space on the front of the building that is not used for advertising. There is also a hanging light in the top right corner. Awning in top of photograph reads "Specials Daily - Meats - Jacob Hymann - Poultry," with the street number "345" on wooden sign in top right. Grate in sidewalk to left of door. Sidewalk only visible right bottom. Verso: Stamp, "Photograph, Berenice Abbott, Maine 04406; " Recto: signed by the artist.
