A passing priest gives the injured man the last rites of the Church
1942

Black and white photograph showing three men, two of whom appear to be police officers, leaning over and attending to a fourth man lying on the ground. The man on the ground has visible injuries on his face. The setting appears to be outdoors at night, and the context suggests an emergency or crime scene.
