Buildings For Sale at 1/2 Their Value: Vintage Photo of Sign in Snow and Dog carved wood bird On the reverse it is

On the reverse it is both strung to wear and wired to hang

by which they would have attached to a marquee framework

5 1/4" long x 2 1/2" tall x 2 13/16" wide

Buildings For Sale at 1/2 Their Value: Vintage Photo of Sign in Snow and Dog carved wood bird On the reverse it isThis photograph feels like a novel to me, with something of a hard scrabble, Steinbeck ian sort of saga aspect to it. For me, there's quite a lonely feeling to that hand painted sign propped up in the snow and surrounded by fallen limbs, with this Border Collie (right?) looking on, as if contemplating its own fate. 5" x 7" and in good condition. Vintage print on matte paper.
