Wrong Turn: 1921 and Saks Fur: 1920

1921. "Auto wreck." Vehicular mishap on a wintry day on the streets (and sidewalks) of Washington, D.C.
"Saks Fur Co. 1920 or 1921." Wintertime window display at the Washington, D.C., furrier featuring a taxidermy tie-in with the movie "Isobel, or the Trail's End."

I love Shorpy. Everyday I check it out and there's always a few minutes of distracting pleasure looking at how things used to be in fine detail with no shortage of artistry.
