One of a portfolio of works produced as advertising for the New York shoe store of John Ward at 555, 5th Avenue, NYC in c1928 by the agency of Redfield, Downey, Odell Company Inc. The article descrobes this as "employing 'American' humour" but it is a fine silhouette in colour by Martha Bensley Bruère (1879 - 1953). It shows Hester Street, Manhattan, NYC, with rhyming tagline. Coincidentally it was at an address in this street where Jacob Epstein, the sculptor, was raised.
