More about the photographer, Berenice Abbott (1898-1991): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berenice_Abbott

Our assignment-to select a photo that represents the future of media or media management-could essentially yield a variety of photos, as shown by the array of photos that the class has already selected. Some may wonder how this old photograph plays into the future of media, but I strongly believe that, while newspapers are gradually becoming obsolete, the media will eventually make a full cycle and bring the newspaper back. The theory behind my prediction is the tetrad of media effects, which I learned about in a previous communication theory class. Essentially, this tetrad questions what a certain medium enhances, makes obsolete, retrieves, and flips into when pushed to extremes. I believe that, some day, print media will be retrieved in some way, shape, or form. -Karen Bonanno, BTMM 1655

"On the ground floor of a tenement one block east of Gramercy Park was this A&P grocery store. Although Abbott's black-and-white photograph could not show it, the storefront was painted red, with a black-and-gold-lettered sign bearing the company's famous logo. "Begun on Vesey Street in 1859 as a tea and coffee importer, the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company grew into the largest chain store in the world. In 1937, there were 119 A&P's in Manhattan and 15,500 stores nationwide with annual gross sales of $1 billion. "Today the Third Avenue tenement storefront is a plumbing supply outlet..."
