Especially interesting is the large SINCLAIR CAMPING sign visible at left. The building at right also carries a prominent LUNCHES sign, giving the photograph a terrific early-roadside-Americana setting. The combination of Sinclair advertising, automobile travel, roadside dining/camping, vernacular portraiture and the amusing handwritten caption makes this a particularly appealing period image.
Handwritten across the lower margin:
Bill & Betty — “What’s Going On?”
Approx. 4 x 2.65 inches.
There is substantial light fading/exposure on the right side, along with normal age wear, marks and handling consistent with an original period snapshot. The Sinclair sign, automobile and figures remain quite clear. Please see all images for exact condition.
A nice original piece for collectors of Sinclair Oil advertising, petroliana, vintage gas stations, automobile travel, roadside America, vernacular photography and 1930s snapshots.
Please check my store for additional antique and vintage photographs, postcards and ephemera. I ship quickly and pack photographs carefully and securely.
