Big Parker Shoe Shop
Bring a little Berlin home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
Between checking a list and leaving the kitchen, there is a moment to look at the small picture on the fridge. 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. Use it where the daily notes gather, with a picture beside the reminders you need to see again.
