{"value"=>"<p>While Mitchell had focused interests in the Fulton Fish Market and the South Street Seaport, he also collected ephemera and other documents related to the city of New York. These items provide evidence of changes in the city's commercial, cultural, and physical landscape, and include restaurant menus, brochures, handouts, fliers, calendars, business cards, and sales tags used by seafood and produce businesses. These ephemeral items concern flea markets, bookstores, psychics and gypsies, and transportation.</p>"}
