Elevated Trestle on Division Street, Lower Manhattan
1940

Black and white photograph depicting a bustling city street under an elevated train track, with vintage cars and pedestrians. Sunlight filters through the overhead structure, casting a pattern of light and shadows on the vehicles and roadway. Signs for businesses, including one that reads "Deutsch's," are visible along the sidewalk.
