Carte de visite photograph depicting the storefront of J.A. McLean & Co., Merchant Tailors, late 19th century.
The image shows a two-story commercial building with a flat façade and bracketed cornice, with two upper windows fitted with shutters. A wooden awning spans the storefront, bearing the painted sign “J.A. McLean & Co. Merchant Tailors.” Below, large display windows flank a recessed entrance where a man stands in the doorway holding a cane. Another man stands at left on the boardwalk with one leg crossed. The street in front appears unpaved, and adjacent structures are partially visible, including a neighboring sign at right with the letters “P.V.” and a painted wall advertisement at left.
The mount is unmarked, with no photographer’s imprint visible. The verso is blank aside from a small blue pencil notation “eaz” near the lower edge, with no additional printed text.
