Colorized photo from 1939
Original Title: Negro grocery store
Photographer: Wolcott Marion Post
Location: 802 West Gwinnett Street, Savannah, GA

There wasn't a lot to go on, considering all they called this shot: Negro grocery. Which has a derogatory connotation, but I still think its cute. Pretty sure the photographer didn't shop here. There wasn't any information about the store itself, other than an overpass is more or less on top of this address. And that she got the name of the town wrong, calling it Sylvania, when the street and that circus poster both suggest its Savannah.

The bike is a 1935 Wards Hawthorne, or at least that's what it looked like. The bike came in burgundy, but later models do show it as a brighter color, so I went with that. Using a dark color the bike would have blended in.

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...
