Description
Colorized photo from 1913
Original Title: G.W. Armstrong drug store
Location: Unknown
My most liked thing are images with lots of detail, oddly enough its also my least liked because of the time it takes to put color on all the objects. Yet in some way its also rewarding. I get to see history up close and see just how freaking close it is to today's things.
Plate glass, for example I didn't think they had float glass like that. I also had a preconceived notion as to what a pharmacy looked like then, and it wasn't this, there were times I forgot this was a 100 years ago. I'm not sure why there are so many cash registers, if you look carefully you'll see 4 in there.
I was able to find a grand total of 15 products online and used their colors the best I could. Beyond that I went for a balance. I would love to have a space like this, I like those ladders. Check out the size of the candy on the left, those chocolate bars must be a good 10 inches long.
They used a wide angle fun house lens on this, the lights were really distorted, yet the rest looks normal.
