Artifact Overview

Photographic cards like this one, with their glued-on labels, were a preliminary step taken by Dexter Press before producing postcards for small-business owners to mail or hand out. In the 1940s, when this photograph was taken, this Brooklyn, New York, ice cream parlor claimed to be the "most popular spot in town." The business was sold in the late 1950s.
