Weegee

Untitled (Charles Sodokoff and Arthur Webber Use Their Top Hats to Hide Their Faces)
1942, print date unknown

Two individuals in dark clothing and hats sit on a bench inside a vehicle, possibly a train or bus, with their faces obscured by their hands. They appear to be in a state of distress or hiding their identities. The setting is confined and utilitarian, with a metal grate on the floor and a simple bench for seating.
