Shadow Shot Sunday - Shadows in Time

Both style and elegance ruled in the 1930s...

Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back as are more archived scans, another one from the files of a gentleman named Ralph from Steubenville Ohio, of course my namesake grandfather. I scanned this recently and time has allowed this print to give a softness to both scene and shadow in this late 1930s print. Try doing a current search for the Kent House and the choices are endless. So I'll conclude that this obviously was a fine restaurant near the northeast Ohio college town of Kent. I will further assume that Grandpa asked the maître d’hôtel, valet or other staff to take the photo as he seemed to want to chronicle to his contemporaries that he was actually there. And in those days, nobody wore a hat into an eatery as so many more do today - it was a bit classier in style then...
