Shop Windows

There's something very appealing about a window display that someone once worked hard on, now preserved in an old photograph, often along with the hungry faces pressed against the window. These pictures are from all over the place, I'm afraid, but primarily the English Heritage Viewfinder site and the Library of Congress. Although the first - and best - was created by my grandfather for a grocer's shop in Gloucestershire: I've already written about it at my other place.
