Big Parker Shoe Shop
Bring a little Berlin home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
The next drink can sit beside a book or a few minutes with friends at the table. Workers gather at Berlin's Big Parker Shoe Shop, making the people beside the workplace part of what you notice in the picture.
The Big Parker Shoe Shop and its assembled workers appear in Berlin's town history, published in 1895. The photograph records people together with their workplace. It gives local manufacturing a human setting, preserving a specific shop within the wider story told by the town's illustrated history.
The group keeps local manufacturing at a human scale, a Berlin shop and its workers rather than a general image of industry. A quiet evening, a book and a glass of water leave room for the view as part of a simple moment at home.
