The photographer takes this picture almost unnoticed from the corner (where the Hotel Theresa stands) of the Morris Shoe company with $5.95 and $6.85 shoes advertised in the window. In the frame a woman’s garment is moving out of the frame, a gentleman quickly follows behind her in the center of the frame and as a Harlem Trolley Subway car travels west across 125th Street with billboards selling Ketchup corn, and much more (source).
