Author: Lazarnick, Nathan (1879-1955).
Title: A Superbly Composed Fashion Still Life by the Russian-Born American Photographer Nathan Lazarnick.
Description: Circa 1935. 1935. - sc The 7-3/4 inch high by 9-7/8 inch wide black & white glossy photograph playfully depicts what can best be called a fashion still life. The image depicts a lone female mannequin in a fashionable store, attired in shorts and a slick raincoat, among an army of display coat racks attired in men's jackets. The photographer's name and address are stamped in blue on the verso with editorial annotations also penciled on the verso. Near fine.

This wonderful image reminds one of the Hollywood musicals of the 1940's which often featured dance and song numbers starring the female lead centered in the front row, escorted by an army of suavely attired male dancers lined in columns behind her at the opening of the dance number. Fine .
