| The picture shows a view of one of the (4) Large 1945 City Scene With Signs Photograph Negatives in this lot. The other three are similar. One of the others is slightly to the right and the other two are more focused on the stores in the center. These negatives are believed to be either from New Hampshire or Massachusetts town. Both cars pictured have a 1945 New Hampshire license plate. These have two old cars and five businesses with signs. These are all original large format sepia tone negatives on Eastman Kodak Safety Film. They each measure 4-5/8'' x 3-1/2''. They are almost the size of a post card! With this size these could be enlarged very big without losing any detail. There is much more detail then can be seen in the scanned pictures below. Beginning at the top left there is a Tailor or Men's Shop. There is a large sign above the windows and the windows have signs as well. These all read as follows: WILLIAM'S CUSTOM TAILORS
