DR-A079 Untitled (1951-1952 Dell's Cafe)
Subject
Gainsboro; Gilmer Avenue; Dell's Cafe; David Ramey.
Description
Aerial view of part of Gainsboro. Homes and businesses can be seen, with people walking around on the sidewalks and in a grassy area. In the center is a building with a large sign reading "Dell's Cafe", above the door and on the window. Two buildings to the left is a business with a sign above the door. The first word on the sign is difficult to read, but the second word is "cleaner". In the foreground is a road sign that says "Gilmer". There are cars and houses in the background, as well as possibly a garbage truck and worker on the left side. "1951", is written on the bottom left corner, and "1952", is on the bottom right corner. Signed by artist.
