This is a vintage photograph, likely a negative, of a street scene. The image is inverted, so the colors are reversed. The main focus is a corner building that houses a "Union Square Cigar Store." The store has large signs advertising cigars, tobacco, and magazines.

Here are some key details:

  • The Building: The cigar store is on the corner of a street. It has multiple entrances and large windows. There's a sign for "G. Daprato" on the building on the left. A large sign on the corner advertises "Union Square Cigar Store."
  • Advertisements: There are numerous advertisements, mainly for cigars. One advertises "This Blue La."
  • Vehicles and People: A horse-drawn carriage is visible parked on the right. People are standing in front of the shop.
  • Street Details: Train tracks are visible in the foreground. The street is lined with buildings. A large tree is visible on the right side.
  • Location: The text at the bottom indicates it is "Union Sq. grade crossing, Webster Av. and Union St."

The image provides a glimpse into a bygone era, likely the early 20th century. The style of the advertisements, the architecture of the buildings, and the horse-drawn carriage all point to this time period.

Here's a description of the image:

The image is an inverted black and white photograph of a street corner scene, likely taken in the early 20th century. The primary focus is a cigar store located at the corner of Union Square, specifically "Union Square Cigar Store 19 Union Square".

Details of the store include:

  • Signage: The store has various signs advertising cigars, tobacco, and magazines. Notably, there's an advertisement for "Union Sq. 5¢ Cigar." Above the store, a large billboard advertises "Union Made Cigars" and a cigar brand with claims of "Honesty, Skill, Quality, Cleanness" and "This Blue Label Is Your Protection." There is also a sign with "G. DAPRATO" written on it.

Street Scene:

  • People: Blurred figures of people are visible in front of the store, suggesting movement or a long exposure time.
  • Transportation: A horse-drawn carriage or delivery cart is parked along the curb in front of one of the storefronts.
  • Railroad Tracks: Multiple sets of railroad tracks run along the street in the foreground.
  • Tree: A bare tree stands at the edge of the sidewalk.

Additional Notes:

  • Inversion: Due to the negative inversion, the image has a ghostly, ethereal quality, with light and dark areas reversed.
  • Location: Text at the bottom of the image reads "Union Sq. grade crossing. Webster Av. and Union st."
  • Number: A number "37096" is visible in the upper right corner.

Overall, the image offers a glimpse into the commercial landscape and street life of an urban environment in the past, with a clear focus on the cigar store and its prominent signage.
