Description
English: Phrenology Shop in New Orleans, 1936 photo by Peter Sekaer

Black and white photo of urban storefront in weathered building. Wooden door with window at right. Large shop window at left, with rusting Coca-Cola sign hanging above.

In the window is a large hand-lettered sign, with a cartoonish profile drawing of a person's head , with the scalp divided into numbered sections.

Text above:
PHRENOLOGY

Text at left, with lettering inconsistently mixing capital and lower case letters, and one of the "N"s is backwards:
She Reads Your Head Like an Open Book

Text at right:
SHE SPEKS SERVEL LANGUES
(Presumably intended to say "She speaks several languages")

Text at bottom:
STEP IN
