{"product_id":"the-shop-on-route-66-memorabilia","title":"Tom Perkins Route 66 Shop Interior Black and White Photography Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis black and white Route 66 shop photography print brings a Gardner, Illinois collection to your wall. A worn chair sits beside the Tom Perkins sign-covered door, surrounded by roadside memorabilia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I spoke with the owner of this shop in Gardner, Illinois, I learned that it grew from his love of Route 66 rather than a conventional retail plan. This black and white photograph keeps that personal character close: a worn chair, a sign-covered door and display cabinets surrounded by roadside memorabilia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tom Perkins name above the door gives the room a clear identity. Below it, Route 66 shields, Coca-Cola graphics and travel references overlap from one panel to the next. I like how the door has become another collecting surface, carrying the same abundance as the walls and shelves beside it. There is almost nowhere for the eye to rest without finding another small image or piece of lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chair provides that pause. Its smooth back and torn seat occupy the lower foreground, contrasting with the crowded patterns around it. A water cooler and donation jar stand to the left, while a cabinet and patterned counter covering add more texture on the right. These everyday objects make the collection feel lived with rather than arranged solely for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI photographed the room during my journey along the historic highway. In monochrome, the signs become a layered field of shapes and tones, with the chair holding the composition together. For a collector or someone drawn to roadside Americana, the print offers details to return to. What I remember is the owner’s enthusiasm, made visible in a room where personal memory had found a place on nearly every surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2022\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"5 × 7 inches (12.7 × 17.8 cm)","offer_id":50571304829007,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 × 8 inches (15.2 × 20.3 cm)","offer_id":67592300593231,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 10 inches (20.3 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40608259604559,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 12 inches (20.3 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":67593001238607,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 14 inches (27.9 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40608267042895,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 17 inches (27.9 × 43.2 cm)","offer_id":67593856057423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 16 inches (30.5 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40576282853455,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67594576166991,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40576282886223,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 24 inches (40.6 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":67595536138319,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40576282918991,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 28 inches (50.8 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":67600630448207,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 36 inches (61.0 × 91.4 cm)","offer_id":41185693794383,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 40 inches (71.1 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":67596355305551,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 inches (76.2 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":41185746911311,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 × 42.0 cm)","offer_id":43805476290639,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm)","offer_id":43804783476815,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)","offer_id":43804839870543,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9 cm)","offer_id":67747641786447,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Tom-Perkins-Route-66-Shop-Interior-Photography-in-Black-and-White-1.jpg?v=1792330916","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/the-shop-on-route-66-memorabilia","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
