EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of R.T. Parkins shop in Butler, Pennsylvania, USA, taken in 1909. The photograph showcases the exterior of the small, quaint shop, with its wooden façade adorned with various displays and signs. Mr. Parkin, the shop owner, stands in the doorway, dressed in a suit and bowler hat, engaged in conversation with a male driver and a female assistant. The scene exudes a sense of hard work and employment as the trio prepare to close up shop for the day. The shop, which appears to be a combination of a grocery and hardware store, is filled with an array of goods. Crates of flour and sacks of vegetables line the pavement, while pyramids of tins and hanging baskets of fruit add to the visual appeal. Inside the shop, windows display an assortment of brushes, hardware, and other household essentials. The female assistant, dressed in a long skirt and blouse, holds a basket of bananas, adding a pop of color to the monochrome image. The scene is completed by the wooden crates and pavement, which bear the marks of the passage of time and the wear and tear of daily use. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and commerce of a small American town over a century ago.
