Open-Air Market Street, Latin America, Jervey Signal Corps Photo Album
This photograph from the Jervey Signal Corps photo album depicts a lively open-air market street in Latin America, likely photographed during a U.S. Army Signal Corps posting in the early-to-mid 20th century. Awning-covered stalls, painted storefront signage including a pharmacy ('Farmacia Diego'), and pedestrians going about daily commerce offer a candid glimpse of local life encountered by American servicemen stationed abroad.
