A black and white photo showing a young man operating a souvenir penny press machine at Universal Studios. In the background, a large model of a shark, presumably from the movie "Jaws," is suspended as an attraction, with visitors milling around. A sign next to the penny press advertises the souvenir for 25 cents.
