Allan Edgar Howes is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Allan Edgar Howe carried a camera like a diary, snapping mid-century streets and storefronts he’d walk past daily. He caught the quiet drama of a neon sign reflecting in a puddle or a shoeshine boy lost in the corner of a shop window. You can still spot his knack for the overlooked on a stroll down Chicago’s Clark Street, where his untitled photographs frame the city like postcards from the past.
