Richard's Barber Shop in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
This #barber shop not only had an amazing old #sign and #handpainted gold leaf lettering in the window but also had stenciled #barbershop tools including scissors, razors and brushes along the top of the roll gate. We also loved all the old #signage in the windows showing the variety of #hair cuts and styles they specialized in. 35 mm film photo is from 2004 and appears in our book "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York". Sadly this Nostrand Avenue #storefront went out of business in 2006 and was replaced by an instant refund tax center with very bland signage. #signgeeks #disappearingfaceofnewyork #jj_texttypographical #jj_doorsandwindows #type #typography #typevstime #font #tv_retrotype #tv_typography #ipulledoverforthis #signofgrime
