The image depicts a vintage interior of a department store, specifically focusing on the fashion section. There are large display windows filled with mannequins wearing dresses and hats in an organized manner to showcase clothing styles from that era.

In one window, there's a woman dressed elegantly standing next to another female figure which appears smaller due to perspective or scale representation. She is likely assisting her by holding the dress for better presentation of how it fits on the mannequin. In front of this display, an oval-shaped sign reads "The Salon."

On the opposite side, there are two more figures in a similar fashion setup with another woman standing beside one and possibly providing styling advice or assistance.

In the background, we see rows of other clothing items displayed neatly across shelves on various heights within the store. The flooring is checkered, indicating an older design typical for such establishments at that time period. Overhead fluorescent lighting illuminates the space evenly. There are a few customers visible in the distance and what seems to be staff wearing hats indicative of professional attire.

The image displays a series of colorful stained glass window panels depicting various scenes related to the shoe industry and profit sharing. The left panel shows two figures conversing in front of what appears to be an office or shop, with shelves filled with goods behind them. In the middle section, there's a woman working on needlework beside another person using a sewing machine at a table. To the right, we see individuals involved in different aspects of shoe production: one is drawing designs while standing near sketches and tools, others are engaged in manual labor tasks such as assembling shoes or handling materials.

The text beneath each illustration provides historical context regarding profit sharing within this industry. The narrative highlights how various figures contributed to its establishment, including Balfour's line, an example of a successful shoe manufacturer that embraced the concept. It also mentions specific individuals like Gottschalk and Schleisner who played significant roles in developing the system.

The stained glass windows seem aged with some discoloration or patina evident on parts of the panels, suggesting they might be from around 1939-1940, as mentioned at the bottom. The overall design serves both an informative and decorative purpose, showcasing historical events within a specific industry through visually engaging artistry.

The image depicts a black and white photograph of an urban construction site, likely from the early to mid-20th century. It shows multiple buildings under various stages of development with exposed steel structures and cranes. In the background stands a large unfinished skyscraper that is prominently featured in the composition.

In this photo, there are no people visible; it focuses on showcasing the architectural aspects and scale of urban expansion during its time period. The skyline behind features several tall buildings characteristic of New York City's mid-century landscape, with prominent structures such as what appears to be a modernist skyscraper under construction dominating the center right.

The absence of color is typical for historical photos from that era; this image might have been taken around April 7th in 1932 by Samuel H. Gottsch (Gottscho), who was known for capturing New York City's architectural features and developments during his career as a photographer, often working with Schleisner & Co.
