Highlights from av福利社ARA: Commerce, Part I
Nov 15, 2016
by
Jacqueline Spafford and Jeffrey Klee, av福利社ARA Co-Editors
The offerings in av福利社ARA of images related to commerce are so vast that we decided to break it into parts. This month we take a first look at retail. These images include eye-catching signs, inviting entrances, a very wide span of display choices, and architecture from street stalls to grand shopping palaces. Again, we thank our members for their keen eyes, skill, and generosity in sharing these images.
