Description:
Black and white photo of a shop front. On the proper right of the shop is an alleyway. Hanging from the awning, above the proper right of the doorway is a sign containing three lines of print. It reads, "THE SNAP SHOPPE / PHOTO FINISHING / KODAKS SUPPLIES." On proper right window of the shop, one can see a turning display rack, inside the shop, of what appears to be postcards. In the proper right display window of the shop are three framed photographs. Below the window is the word "FRAMING" painted on. In the center of the front of the shop is a door with the number sign reading "221. " Below that sign is one that reads "DEVELOPING PRINTING ENLARGING." On the proper left hand side of the door is a slot, with the words "DROP FILM HERE" above it. In the display window on the proper left of the door are various objects. Towards the top of this window are the words, "GET YOUR FILM HERE." Below this window are the painted words "ENLARGING & TINTING ~" Hanging from the awning is a sign containing two lines of text, "KODAK FILM VERICHROME / DEVELOPING PRINTING ENLARGING."

Next to the Snap Shoppe, to its direct proper left, is a store with a vase and flowers in one of its display cases. The first word of the sign appears to be "BEAUTY" with the rest indiscernible.

On the back of the photograph, written in black ink are the words "The Snap Shoppe." Directly below that is the number "4" written in pencil.
