A new Buick sits at the curb in front of a storefront display window for Emerson and Orme in Washington, D.C., in this circa 1920 view. The automobile is the clear focus, with the shop window behind it, which suggests the photograph was meant to show off the car as much as the business. Underwood & Underwood, a firm best known for stereographs and commercial and news photography, made the print, and the record's caption data is unverified. Pictures like this capture the early 1920s, when automobiles were moving from luxury goods toward everyday transportation on city streets.
