Creator
Taylor, Frank H. (Frank Hamilton), 1846-1927
Title
"The Russian Shoe Market"
Date
ca. 1922
Description
Reproduction of a drawing of a market night scene. The area under the awning is lit, and there are shoppers and a cart in the foreground.
Notes
The above term was used by a neighboring saloon-keeper in reply to a question and it seems to well-fit the distinely foreign aspect of this scene which any delver may discover beneath the frontage of the old Union Market on Second Street north of Callowhill Street. The "high cost of living" has not reached this humblr mart, in the matter of shoes of every sort to suit the lean purse of teh Saturday night patron. Here is the southern outpost of a retail section along old Second Street, which remains, despite all competition the shopping district for a great population in the Eleventh Ward and beyond its confines.
