A department store window in Brooklyn, with moccasins as the featured merchandise, is the particular subject here. The display belonged to Namm-Loeser's, a Fulton Street department store that was a familiar shopping destination for borough residents in the mid-twentieth century. Casual footwear like moccasins was popular in the 1950s, and window displays of this kind were designed to draw foot traffic from the sidewalk. This color halftone reproduces a photoprint made by Milton B. Conhaim, Inc., a New York City commercial studio. The record dates it to between 1954 and 1955, based on an unverified caption card.
