Description
Photograph of a Christmas display in the window of an unidentified shop, ca.1920-1929. The wide display window is shown at center from outside the store, filled with various toys. At left, a mannequin of a young boy wears frontiersman's clothes, a life-sized model horse behind him and hitched to his arm. Below, a model train and several dolls can be seen, one which is pulled in a carriage by a second, smaller toy horse. Farther right, a toy cow is set on wheels. A wreath is visible in the background. The sidewalk is visible in the foreground.
