A department store-style window display built around Salonette furs, made for the firm Gunther Jaeckel, is the subject here, dated by its record to between 1954 and 1955. In that period, retail windows were a major form of fashion advertising, and fur displays were staged to suggest luxury and seasonal occasion. This image is a color halftone reproduction of a photograph by Milton B. Conhaim, Inc., a New York City studio, so it reflects how commercial photography was adapted for printed trade and magazine use. The caption information is unverified, so the exact location and details of the display are best treated as provisional.
