Description
Take a stroll down Duval Street the way it looked decades ago. This print reproduces a vintage postcard titled “Duval Street Looking East, Key West, Fla.,” made from a Kodachrome photograph credited to C. H. Ruth.
The scene is full of old Key West character. Classic cars from the 1940s line the curb, including a green pickup truck in the foreground and a sleek white sedan farther down the block. Shopfronts advertise Furniture and Radio Repairs and The Florsheim Shoe store, with parking meters along the sidewalk. Wooden buildings with second-floor balconies sit beside an ornate building topped with white domes. In the distance, the Hotel La Concha rises above everything, its rooftop sign and flags against a deep blue sky.
Duval Street is the heart of Key West and the home of Sloppy Joe’s, so this is a perfect piece for anyone who loves the island’s history or has spent a few nights on Duval themselves.
