When Oscar lands on Ellis Island, he has only a suitcase and the dream of owning his own barbershop. After it opens on the corner of Front St. and Second Ave, Oscar's barbershop will change hands many times over the course of the century, becoming a clothing store, a soup kitchen, a coffee shop, and then an army recruitment center. Using the store as a focal point, Barry Wittenstein looks in on key moments in American history, which husband-and-wife team Kristen and Kevin Howdeshell depict in highly appealing, historically-informed images.
