EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WINDOW DISPLAY, 1941" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Chicago, Illinois. The image showcases a store window adorned with mannequins that exude an air of mystery and intrigue. Photographer John Vachon skillfully captures this moment in July 1941, freezing it forever for us to admire. The scene is set against the backdrop of a mid-century storefront, its exterior reflecting the architectural style prevalent during that era. The mannequins stand proudly within the display, their elegant poses showcasing the latest fashion trends of 1940s America. These lifeless figures seem almost ethereal as they model clothing designs that were undoubtedly cutting-edge at the time. There is something slightly unusual about this particular window display - two of the mannequins appear partially nude. This unexpected element adds an intriguing twist to an otherwise conventional scene and prompts viewers to question its purpose or message. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable photograph from their collection by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to a different era - one filled with glamour, innovation, and perhaps even some controversy.
