Colorized photo from 1941
Original Title: Negro barber shop
Location: Chicago, Ill, South side

Our modern society is getting better at race relation, but in the past it wasn't really so. Back in the 1940's they divided rooms, bathrooms, buses, etc for black and white people. It never made much sense.

If you wanted a hair cut, you would get it on a porch at your house. Often the barbers were black, and they would cut the hair of white folk, during the daytime. But at night, they tended to their black clientele, and it was really more of a social club. A place they can speak their mind and not get judged by others.

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...
