But my friend James Partain brought by a better copy of the image, one that shows a lot more detail. In my copy, you cannot see into Self's store; you cannot see a man under the porch of the Masonic Building; you can't see the sign reading "Post Office" under the Masonic Building awning.
I'm blown away by the details I'd never seen before.

I especially like the triangle eye that is hanging in the window of SELF.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great picture. The clarity is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI see a man sitting in front of the post office, and in the store next to the post office there seems to be a man or woman standing in the doorway.
I can't enlarge this photo so what I see in the doorway of the Oscar Rosenthal store may not be a person.
It may be an optical illusion.
