Artist's Description
Colorized photo from 1937
Original title: Senate office bldg barber shop
Location: Washington DC
The senate building has its own barbershop. It's used to keep our senators and trimmed. They can get a haircut, manicure, even a shoeshine. For a very long time, we the people paid for all of that and it was only for government people.
Today, they pay their own way, and its open to the public by appointment only. There is a no photography rule, and like everything in the government - it hasn't been updated since around 1960. Naturally this image is much older.
Traditionally for a long time, senators would receive their own shaving mug, comb and brush. They thought that germs would carry over from person to person, so each person would have their own, with their names on it. You can still see these in many older barber shops, usually in a custom made display case. It was a matter of pride for both the barber and the patron.
They don't do this now...
About Mike Savad
My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
