A mural in a bank in Montclair, New Jersey caught my eye. It depicts a parade on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair.
From a storefront hung a sign for Jay Te Winburn, Portrait Photographer.
Fourteen years ago I researched this person. I inherited a photo taken by him.
I do not know the subject of the portrait. She appears to be a young woman with short, waved hair, wearing pearls. Perhaps the time period was the 1920s.

Based on addresses used by National Grocery Company and Winburn's studio, I would place this view from Bloomfield Avenue looking west at Maple Place.
Since writing the original article, the burial place of Jay Te Winburn was entered on Find A Grave. He died in 1965 and was buried in Flushing Cemetery in Queens, New York.
