Description
Hand colorized 1942
Original title: Portuguese Grocer
Photographer: John Collier Jr
Location: 30 Bradford St, Provincetown, MA
The store was a part of a series where they basically shot every corner and the outside. Its a quaint, small country type store, with a large assortment of Monarch brand canned things. There is also a meat counter, and cakes and donuts.
The image had a light on the left which was well placed, but still in frame, and I had to remove that. Along with the reflections it made in the window.
I was able to find advertisements for the branded cans, couldn't find the bread, but found 90% of all those soaps. People kept soap boxes but not the cans. Except for the pretty cans.
Above the deli is a lobster claw, it had eyes? Unbelievably I found it, a bunch of them, lobster folk art, they paint them up with hair and eyes, and the claw is the mouth. That I was able to find but not the bread?
Also removed a thing on the left as it was distracting.
