[Rarebooks] FS: 1890s Lunchroom Storefront & Boardwalk Cabinet Card Photo

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1890s Lunchroom Storefront Cabinet Card Photo.

An intriguing cabinet card of a set of newly-built storefronts with many 
interesting details- the buildings appear to all be from the same 
design, the one on the left being built-up with a second story. All are 
sitting on a supporting pier over a banking, possibly over water, as the 
details to the extreme left suggest a river. The trio all appear to be 
the same restaurant, with the “Lunch Room” sign on the building at the 
far left, followed by the window sign “A Square Meal” in the middle 
building, and checkered-tablecloth covered tables can be seen through 
the windows in the right-hand building. The man on the right is holding 
a baby, and the boy in the middle holds a small dog while the woman on 
the left adjusts her hair just as the shutter clicks. A lot is going on 
here.

Cabinet card. 8.5”x6.5” [mount], 7.5”x4.75” [image]. Minor soil, light 
wear. $40
