Angel's Jewels Closes
Can't Fight City Hall
Portland, Oregon, 1977
The portrait of Angel's Jewels was taken as part of a photo documentary project included for viewing at a national conference held in Portland, Oregon, entitled Wages, Welfare Or What? The show highlighted some of the issues under discussion as it related to full employment, health care and poverty. At the time of the conference, the Humphrey Hawkins Bill, sponsored in part by former Vice president, Hubert Humphrey, was under intense discussion.
The subject shown in this documentary photograph figured in the larger conversation. Angel's Jewels and all other stores located on this downtown Portland block were scheduled for demolition to make way for a parking lot. Tragically, elderly citizens who lived in hotels on the block were forced to move without anywhere to go... and sadly one of the great movie houses from the silent era, The Blue Mouse, was torn down.
16x20 Inch Art Print
Image Dimensions are @11.3x17 inches
Heavyweight Epson Satin paper
Signed/Dated on lower white border Clear Sleeved on foam core
