In the photo it is mainly focused on a grocery store. You can see the prices for food that is being sold, and a man in the doorway of the store. You can see that there is only one person in the picture. You can tell by this that it is probably a small town with little people in it like in Maycomb. Also you can see that the prices for the food is a lot less then what we pay now. In the book Miss Caroline offers Walter a quarter to get lunch in the city. This shows that things back then were a lot less money, and in the picture it shows the food for a very low price compared to today. The picture can be in the same time period that To Kill A Mockingbird was in, because the prices for things were similar.
In the picture you can see a man by the store door. You can see that his sleeves are rolled up and he looks a little tired from the way he is standing. In the book it states, "Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it." This means that not much really happens in Maycomb, and as you can see the man looks tired, and almost a little bored. You can also tell that the time periods are similar, because in the book it takes place in the 1930's and the man's clothes look like what people wore in that time. In the book it states, "...it was hotter then: a black dog suffered on a summer's day..." Showing is was very hot in the summer. The man's sleeves are rolled up, and you can infer that it was a hot day.
