By Steven Heller.
In postwar America, everything pointed to a bright, shiny future. Storefront design of the era is particularly indicative of this phenomenon, showcased here in an extensive collection of hand-illustrated shop window designs from 1938 to 1950. Streamlining was still hot, as well as chrome and futuristic designs. All spectacular these designs reveal the mindset of a unique period in history. Also includes historical b&w photographs of actual shops. A rare look at mid-century commercial America as it pictured itself. Text in German, French and English.
