Colorized photo from 1919
Original title: Haverford Cycle, Interior
Location: 522 10th St NW, Washington DC
You don't get to see too many bike stores from the past. I think they shot this to celebrate something, everyone had a catalog only from this one year, and its where I got the color from.
The original had a lot of issues in it, it took a bit of time to clean that part up. There were dots everywhere, and parts of it were over exposed. The flash was especially bright in this room.
There were bulbs missing behind the counter, I don't know how they found anything. For the most part the bikes were white, with white tires with a blue stripe, a few were black, despite them being called black beauty, many were not black. I think they were pushing the striped tires as a gimmick, they even made them into lamps.
This was taken at Christmas time, that's why you see the decorations.
