Description
Photograph of a store window display of women's clothing, ca.1930. A mannequin on the left stands in a dark robe with lightly-colored ties across the chest which resemble knots. A second mannequin sits in a chair next to her with a long, dark dress with small, lightly-colored buttons on the neck and a short, wooden footstool to the right. A third mannequin stands on the right in a dark t-shirt and pants with a lightly-colored neckerchief and hat. The interior of the store can be seen through the glass behind them and street lights reflect in the glass in the foreground. A poster standing between the mannequins depicts people swimming in a pool to advertise for Palm Springs.
